Fedderke, and Lian-Tao Wang Categories: hep-ph Comments: 57 pages, 5 figures \\ We describe a composite Higgs scenario in which a cosmological relaxation mechanism naturally gives rise to a hierarchy between the weak scale and the scale of spontaneous global symmetry breaking. This is achieved through the scanning of sources of explicit global symmetry breaking by a relaxion field during an exponentially long period of inflation in the early universe. We explore this mechanism in detail in a specific composite Higgs scenario with QCD-like dynamics, based on an ultraviolet $SU(N)_{\textrm{TC}}$ 'technicolor' confining gauge theory with three Dirac technifermion flavors. We find that we can successfully generate a hierarchy of scales $\xi \equiv \langle h \rangle^2 / F_\pi^2 \gtrsim 1.2 \times 10^{-4}$ (i.e., compositeness scales $F_\pi \sim 20$ TeV) without tuning. This evades all current precision bounds on our (custodial violating) model. While directly observing the heavy composite states in this model will be challenging, a future electroweak precision measurement program can probe most of the natural parameter space for the model. We also highlight signatures of more general composite Higgs models in the cosmological relaxation framework, including some implications for flavor and dark matter. \\ ( https://arxiv.org/abs/1705.09666 , 1620kb) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ \\ arXiv:1705.09670 Date: Fri, 26 May 2017 18:01:16 GMT (686kb,D) Title: A Novel LHC Dark Matter Search to Dissect the Galactic Centre Excess Authors: Patrick Tunney, Jose Miguel No, Malcolm Fairbairn Categories: hep-ph \\ A compelling explanation of the gamma ray Galactic Center excess is the existence of a relatively light dark matter particle annihilating into Standard Model fermions via a pseudoscalar mediator with enhanced coupling to $b$-quarks. Here we show that those key ingredients naturally lead to a specific and novel signature at the LHC which could be used to test the dark matter origin of the Galactic Center gamma ray excess with LHC Run 2 data. \\ ( https://arxiv.org/abs/1705.09670 , 686kb) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ \\ arXiv:1705.09698 Date: Fri, 26 May 2017 19:51:45 GMT (2078kb,D) Title: Clockwork Dark Matter Authors: Daniele Teresi Categories: hep-ph Comments: 7 pages, 3 figures; Contribution to proceedings of the 52nd Rencontres de Moriond on EW Interactions and Unified Theories, 18-25 March, 2017, La Thuile, Italy Report-no: ULB-TH/17-10 \\ I give a pedagogical discussion of thermal dark matter (DM) within the clockwork mechanism. The clockwork mechanism, which is a natural way to generate small numbers starting from order-one couplings, allows to have a long-lived, but unstable, DM particle that nevertheless has O(1) couplings with electroweak- or TeV-scale states. Remarkably, DM decays on time scales much longer than the age of the Universe and has at the same time sizeable couplings with light states, which therefore allow to produce it thermally within the WIMP paradigm. These new particles with large couplings can be searched for at current or future colliders. I also briefly comment on how this setup can minimally emerge from the deconstruction of an extra dimension in flat spacetime. \\ ( https://arxiv.org/abs/1705.09698 , 2078kb) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ \\ arXiv:1705.09716 Date: Fri, 26 May 2017 20:56:25 GMT (86kb) Title: Universal Landau Pole and Physics below the 100 TeV Scale Authors: Christopher D. Carone, Shikha Chaurasia, and John C. Donahue Categories: hep-ph Comments: 18 pages, LaTeX, 1 figure \\ We reconsider the possibility that all standard model gauge couplings blow up at a common scale in the ultraviolet. The simplest implementation of this idea assumes supersymmetry and the addition of a single vector-like generation of matter fields around the TeV scale. We provide an up-to-date numerical study of this scenario and show that either the scale of the additional matter or the scale of supersymmetry breaking falls below potentially relevant LHC bounds. We then consider minimal extensions of the extra matter sector that raise its scale above the reach of the LHC, to determine whether there are cases that might be probed at a 100 TeV collider. We also consider the possibility that the heavy matter sector involves new gauge groups constrained by the same ultraviolet boundary condition, which in some cases can provide an explanation for the multiplicity of heavy states. We comment on the relevance of this framework to theories with dark and visible sectors. \\ ( https://arxiv.org/abs/1705.09716 , 86kb) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ \\ arXiv:1705.09743 Date: Sat, 27 May 2017 00:03:42 GMT (76kb,D) Title: Exploring the Quark Flavour Puzzle within the 3 Higgs Mode Authors: David Emmanuel-Costa, J.I. Silva-Marcos, Nuno Rosa Agostinho Categories: hep-ph Comments: 17 pages, 2 figures \\ We extend the standard model with two extra Higgs doublets. Making use of a symmetry principle, we present flavour symmetries based on cycle groups $Z_N$ that oblige each Higgs doublet to contribute to the mass of only one generation, thus accommodating the quark mass hierarchy. We systematically search for all charge configurations that naturally lead to the alignment in flavour space of the quark sectors, resulting in a CKM matrix near to the identity, determined by the quark mass hierarchy, and with the correct overall phenomenological features. The minimal realisation is by the group $Z_7$. We show that only a limited number of solutions exist, and that any accidental global symmetry that may occur together with the discrete symmetry is necessarily anomalous. A phenomenological study of each class of solutions concerning predictions to the flavour changing neutral current (FCNC) phenomena is also performed: for some solutions, it is possible to obtain realistic quark masses and mixing, while the flavour violating neutral Higgs are sufficient lighter to be accessible at LHC. \\ ( https://arxiv.org/abs/1705.09743 , 76kb) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ \\ arXiv:1705.09760 Date: Sat, 27 May 2017 03:41:05 GMT (1162kb,D) Title: Directional Detection of Dark Matter using Spectroscopy of Crystal Defects Authors: Surjeet Rajendran, Nicholas Zobrist, Alexander O. Sushkov, Ronald Walsworth and Mikhail Lukin Categories: hep-ph quant-ph Comments: 9 pages, 3 figures \\ We propose a method to identify the direction of an incident Weakly Interacting Massive Particle (WIMP) via induced nuclear recoil. Our method is based on spectroscopic interrogation of quantum defects in macroscopic solid-state crystals . When a WIMP scatters in a crystal, the induced nuclear recoil creates a tell-tale damage cluster, localized to within about 50 nm, with an orientation to the damage trail that correlates well with the direction of the recoil and hence the incoming WIMP. This damage cluster induces strain in the crystal, shifting the energy levels of nearby quantum defects. These level shifts can be measured optically (or through paramagnetic resonance) making it possible to detect the strain environment around the defect in a solid sample. As a specific example, we consider nitrogen vacancy centers in diamond, for which high defect densities and nanoscale localization of individual defects have been demonstrated. To localize the millimeter-scale region of a nuclear recoil within the crystal due to a potential dark matter event, we can use conventional WIMP detection techniques such as the collection of ionization/scintillation. Once an event is identified, the quantum defects in the vicinity of the event can be interrogated to map the strain environment, thus determining the direction of the recoil. In principle, this approach should be able to identify the recoil direction with an efficiency greater than 70% at a false positive rate less than 5% for 10 keV recoil energies. If successful, this method would allow for directional detection of WIMP-induced nuclear recoils at solid state densities, enabling probes of WIMP parameter space below the solar neutrino floor. This technique could also potentially be applied to identify the direction of particles such as neutrons whose low scattering cross-section requires detectors with a large target mass. \\ ( https://arxiv.org/abs/1705.09760 , 1162kb) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ \\ arXiv:1705.09781 Date: Sat, 27 May 2017 07:35:12 GMT (12kb) Title: Quark mass function in Minkowski space Authors: Hidekazu Tanaka and Shuji Sasagawa Categories: hep-ph Comments: 9 pages, 3 figures Report-no: RUP-17-9 \\ We investigate the properties of quark mass functions in quantum chromodynamics calculated by the Schwinger-Dyson equation in the strong coupling region, in which the loop integration is performed in Minkowski space.

Unlike the conventional flavor diagram approach, we consider flavor $SU(3)$ breaking effect assisted by factorization hypothesis for topological diagram amplitudes of different decay modes, by factorizing out the corresponding decay constants and form factors. The non-perturbative parameters of topology diagram magnitudes $\chi$ and strong phase $\phi$ are universal that can be extracted by $\chi^2$ fit from current abundant experimental data of charmless $B$ decays. The number of free parameters and the $\chi^2$ per degree of freedom are both reduced comparing with previous analysis. With these best fitted parameters, we predict branching fractions and $CP$ asymmetry parameters of nearly 100 $B_{u,d}$ and $B_s$ decay modes. The long-standing $\pi \pi$ and $\pi K$-$CP$ puzzles are solved simultaneously. \\ ( https://arxiv.org/abs/1705.09787 , 9kb) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ \\ arXiv:1705.09825 Date: Sat, 27 May 2017 14:53:53 GMT (381kb,D) Title: Bulk viscosity of two-flavor quark matter from the Kubo formalism Authors: Arus Harutyunyan (ITP, Frankfurt), Armen Sedrakian (FIAS) Categories: hep-ph astro-ph.HE astro-ph.SR nucl-th Comments: 18 pages, 19 figures, uses RevTeX \\ We study the bulk viscosity of quark matter in the strong coupling regime within the two-flavor Nambu--Jona-Lasinio model. The dispersive effects that lead to non-zero bulk viscosity arise from quark-meson fluctuations above the Mott transition temperature, where meson decay into two quarks is kinematically allowed. We adopt the Kubo-Zubarev formalism and compute the equilibrium imaginary-time correlation function for pressure in the $O(1/N_c)$ power counting scheme. The bulk viscosity of matter is expressed in terms of the Lorentz components of the quark spectral function and includes multi-loop contributions which arise via re-summation of infinite geometrical series of loop diagrams. We show that the multi-loop contributions dominate the single-loop contribution close to the Mott line, whereas at high temperatures the one-loop contribution is dominant. The multi-loop bulk viscosity dominates the shear viscosity close to the Mott temperature by factors 5 to 20, but with increasing temperature the shear viscosity becomes the dominant dissipation mechanism of stresses as the one-loop contribution becomes the main source of bulk viscosity. \\ ( https://arxiv.org/abs/1705.09825 , 381kb) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ \\ arXiv:1705.09841 Date: Sat, 27 May 2017 16:43:45 GMT (451kb,D) Title: Four-fermion interactions and the chiral symmetry breaking in an external magnetic field Authors: Wei-jie Fu and Yu-xin Liu Categories: hep-ph Comments: 8 pages, 4 figures \\ We investigate the chiral symmetry and its spontaneous breaking at finite temperature and in an external magnetic field with four-fermion interactions of different channels. Quantum and thermal fluctuations are included within the functional renormalization group approach, and properties of the set of flow equations for different couplings, such as its fixed points, are discussed. It is found that external parameters, e.g. the temperature and the external magnetic field and so on, do not change the structure of the renormalization group flows for the couplings. The flow strength is found to be significantly dependent on the route and direction in the plane of couplings of different channels. Therefore, the critical temperature for the chiral phase transition shows a pronounced dependence on the direction as well. Given fixed initial ultraviolet couplings, the critical temperature increases with the increasing magnetic field, viz., the magnetic catalysis is observed with initial couplings fixed. \\ ( https://arxiv.org/abs/1705.09841 , 451kb) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ \\ arXiv:1705.09903 Date: Sun, 28 May 2017 07:22:22 GMT (123kb) Title: Nuclear dependence of $R=\frac{\sigma_L}{\sigma_T}$ and Callan-Gross relation in nuclei Authors: F. Zaidi, H. Haider, M. Sajjad Athar, S. K. Singh and I. Ruiz Simo Categories: hep-ph nucl-th Comments: 10 pages, 7 figures \\ The electromagnetic nuclear structure functions $F_{1A} (x,Q^2)$, $F_{2A} (x,Q^2)$ and $F_{LA} (x,Q^2)$ have been calculated using a microscopic model of nucleus to study the nuclear medium effects on the ratio $R_A(x,Q^2)=\frac{\sigma_{LA} (x,Q^2)}{\sigma_{TA} (x,Q^2)} = \frac{F_{LA} (x,Q^2)}{2xF_{1A} (x,Q^2)}$ and the Callan-Gross relation(CGR) in nuclei. The nuclear medium effects due to the Fermi motion, binding energy, nucleon correlations, mesonic contribution and shadowing have been taken into account. The theoretical results for the nuclear dependence of $R_{A} (x,Q^2)$ and its impact on CGR have been presented and compared with the available experimental data on the various nuclear targets. The predictions have been made for $R_{A} (x,Q^2)$ in the kinematic region of $x$ and $Q^2$ for some nuclei relevant for the future experiments to be performed at the JLab. \\ ( https://arxiv.org/abs/1705.09903 , 123kb) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ \\ arXiv:1705.09953 Date: Sun, 28 May 2017 15:42:30 GMT (294kb) Title: Dual meson condensates in the Polyakov-loop extended linear sigma model Authors: Zhao Zhang and Haipeng Lu Categories: hep-ph Comments: 9 pages,7 figures \\ Dual meson condensates as possible order parameters for deconfinement are investigated in a Polyakov-loop enhanced linear sigma model of QCD at both zero and finite isospin chemical potential $\mu_I$. We find that the rapid rise of the dual sigma condensate (corresponding to the dressed Polyakov-loop) with $T$ is driven by the chiral transition, no matter whether the Polyakov-loop dynamics is included or not. For $\mu_I>m_\pi/2$, the dual sigma condensate shows abnormal thermal behavior which even decreases with $T$ below the melting temperature $T_c^{I_3}$ of pion superfluidity; On the other hand, even the dual pion condensate always increases with $T$, its maximum slope locates exactly at $T_c^{I_3}$ rather than the deconfinement temperature $T_c^{P}$ determined by the Polyakov-loop. All these are qualitatively consistent with the previous results obtained in the Nambu-Jona-Lasinio type models. The dual vector meson condensate for $\mu_I>m_\pi/2$ is also calculated. This quantity is more sensitive to the chiral transition when taking into account the Dirac-sea contribution. Our study further suggests that it should be cautious to use dual observables to indicate the deconfinement transition, especially in QCD models. \\ ( https://arxiv.org/abs/1705.09953 , 294kb) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ \\ arXiv:1705.09978 Date: Sun, 28 May 2017 19:13:49 GMT (14kb) Title: Where have all the large Representations gone? Authors: J. Lorenzo Diaz-Cruz Categories: hep-ph Comments: 7 pages, 2 tables Report-no: CIFFU-03-17 \\ Gauge theories describe the interactions of the fundamental building blocks of nature with great success. The Standard Model achieves a partial unification of the electromagnetic and weak interactions, and it also acomodates the strong interactions. The known quarks and leptons appear in the fundamental representations (or singlets) of the SU(3)_cxSU(2)_L x U(1)_Y gauge symmetry. However, larger representations (EW triplets, color sextes, etc.) could also occur in principle. Bounds on such exotic states based on electroweak precision tests, unitarity, perturbativity and collider searches, indicate that they should be very heavy or may be non-existent. But why only small representations occur in nature? Several ideas that could give some light into this problem are discussed here, including the approach of Nielsen et al, as well as the possible compositeness of quarks and leptons. Then, we discuss the problem within the context of grand unified theories, where a principle of "minimal complexity" is proposed to restrict the size of large representations, when they are required to form unified multiplets. \\ ( https://arxiv.org/abs/1705.09978 , 14kb) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ \\ arXiv:1705.10088 Date: Mon, 29 May 2017 09:23:56 GMT (433kb,D) Title: Open-flavor charmed/bottom $sq\bar q\bar Q$ and $qq\bar q\bar Q$ tetraquark states Authors: Wei Chen, Hua-Xing Chen, Xiang Liu, T.

In the diquark configuration, we construct the diquark-antidiquark interpolating tetraquark currents using the color-antisymmetric scalar and axial-vector diquark fields. The stable mass sum rules are established in reasonable parameter working ranges, which are used to give reliable mass predictions for these tetraquark states. We obtain the mass spectra for the open-flavor charmed/bottom $sq\bar q\bar c$, $qq\bar q\bar c$, $sq\bar q\bar b$, $qq\bar q\bar b$ tetraquark states with various spin-parity quantum numbers.

We find that this process at CEPC is quite "clean", namely the direct photoproduction absolutely dominate over the single- and double- resolved processes, at least 2 orders of magnitude larger. It is found that the next-to-leading order (NLO) QCD corrections will significantly reduce the results due to that the virtual corrections to $^3S_1^1$ is large and negative. For $J/\psi$, as $p_t$ increases, the color octet (CO) processes will provide increasingly important contributions to the total NLO results. Moreover the inclusion of CO contributions will dramatically change the polarizations of $J/\psi$ from toally transverse to longitudinal, which can be regarded as a distinct signal for the CO mechanism. However, for the case of $\Upsilon$, the effects of the CO processes are negligible, both for yields and polarizations. For $J/\psi$, the dependence of the yields on the value of the renormalization scale $\mu_r$ is moderate, while significant for the polarization. The impact of the variation of $\mu_{\lambda}$ is found to be relatively slight. As for the case of $\Upsilon$, the uncertainties of $\mu_{r}$ and $\mu_{\lambda}$ just bring about negligible effects. The future measurements on this semi-inclusive photoproductions of $J/\psi(\Upsilon)+\gamma+X$, especially on the polarization parameters of $J/\psi$, will be a good laboratory for the study of heavy quarkonium production mechanism and helpful to clarify the problems of the $J/\psi$ polarization puzzle. \\ ( https://arxiv.org/abs/1705.10230 , 3168kb) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ \\ arXiv:1705.10271 Date: Mon, 29 May 2017 16:02:31 GMT (229kb,D) Title: Precise predictions for dijet production at the LHC Authors: James Currie, Aude Gehrmann-De Ridder, Thomas Gehrmann, E.W.N.

The blinded search used 34.2 live days of data acquired between November 2016 and January 2017. Inside the (1042$\pm$12) kg fiducial mass and in the [5, 40] $\mathrm{keV}_{\mathrm{nr}}$ energy range of interest for WIMP dark matter searches, the electronic recoil background was $(1.93 \pm 0.25) \times 10^{-4}$ events/(kg $\times$ day $\times \mathrm{keV}_{\mathrm{ee}}$), the lowest ever achieved in a dark matter detector.

The original proposal was based on using global Lagrange multipliers, but later a local formulation was provided. Subsequently other interesting claims of a different non-local approach to the cosmological constant problem were made, based again on global Lagrange multipliers. We examine some of these proposals and find their mutual relationship. We explain that the proposals which do not treat the cosmological constant counterterm as a dynamical variable require fine tunings to have acceptable solutions. Furthermore, the counterterm often needs to be retuned at every order in the loop expansion to cancel the radiative corrections to the cosmological constant, just like in standard GR. These observations are an important reminder of just how the proposal of vacuum energy sequester avoids such problems. \\ ( https://arxiv.org/abs/1705.08950 , 23kb) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ \\ arXiv:1705.09664 (*cross-listing*) Date: Fri, 26 May 2017 18:00:02 GMT (929kb,D) Title: Can AMS anti-Helium events come from dark matter? Maybe! Authors: Adam Coogan, Stefano Profumo Categories: astro-ph.HE hep-ph Comments: 6 pages, 2 figures. Submitted \\ We demonstrate that the tentative detection of a few anti-helium events with the Alpha Magnetic Spectrometer (AMS) on board the International Space Station can in principle be ascribed to the annihilation or decay of Galactic dark matter, when accounting for uncertainties in the coalescence process leading to the formation of anti-nuclei. We show that the predicted antiproton rate, assuming the anti-helium events came from dark matter, is marginally consistent with AMS data, as is the antideuteron rate with current available constraints. We argue that a dark matter origin can be tested with better constraints on the coalescence process, better control of misidentified events, and with future antideuteron data. \\ ( https://arxiv.org/abs/1705.09664 , 929kb) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ \\ arXiv:1705.09676 (*cross-listing*) Date: Fri, 26 May 2017 18:27:59 GMT (378kb,D) Title: Constraining Dwarf Spheroidal Dark Matter Halos With The Galactic Center Excess Authors: Jeremie Choquette Categories: astro-ph.CO astro-ph.HE hep-ph Comments: 8 pages, 5 figures \\ If the gamma-ray excess from the galactic center reported by Fermi-LAT is a signal from annihilating dark matter, one must question why a similar excess has not been observed in dwarf spheroidal galaxies. We use this observation to place constraints on the density profile of dwarf spheroidal galaxies under the assumption that the galactic center excess is in fact a signal from annihilating dark matter. We place constraints on the generalized NFW parameter $\gamma$ and the Einasto profile parameter $\alpha$ which control the logarithmic slope of the inner regions of the halo's density profile. We determine that under these assumptions the galactic center excess is inconsistent with the standard NFW profile (and other `cuspy' profiles) for dwarf spheroidal galaxies , but is consistent with observations of cored dwarf galaxy profiles. Specifically, we find that dwarf spheroidal profiles must be less cuspy than that of the Milky Way. Models of dark matter which self-interacts through a light mediator can achieve this. \\ ( https://arxiv.org/abs/1705.09676 , 378kb) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ \\ arXiv:1705.09878 (*cross-listing*) Date: Sun, 28 May 2017 00:39:02 GMT (26kb) Title: Supersymmetry in dynamical M-brane background Authors: Kengo Maeda, Kunihito Uzawa Categories: hep-th gr-qc hep-ph Comments: 20 pages \\ The supersymmetry arises in certain theories of fermions coupled to gauge fields and gravity in a spacetime of 11 dimensions. The dynamical brane background has mainly been studied for the class of purely bosonic solutions only, but recent developments involving time-dependent brane solution have made it clear that one can get more information by asking what happens on supersymmetric systems. In this paper, we construct an exact supersymmetric solution of dynamical M-brane background in the 11-dimensional supergravity and investigate the geometric features near the singularity and the black hole horizon. \\ ( https://arxiv.org/abs/1705.09878 , 26kb) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ \\ arXiv:1705.09924 (*cross-listing*) Date: Sun, 28 May 2017 10:19:31 GMT (346kb,D) Title: Observational Constraints on the Primordial Curvature Power Spectrum Authors: Razieh Emami (Hong Kong U. Sci. Tech), George Smoot (Hong Kong U. Sci. Tech. & APC, Paris & LBL, Berkeley & Paris Cent. Cosmol. Phys.) Categories: astro-ph.CO astro-ph.HE gr-qc hep-ph hep-th Comments: 35 pages, 12 figures, Any comments are welcome \\ CMB observations provide a precise measurement of the primordial power spectrum on large scales, corresponding to wavenumbers $10^{-3}$ Mpc$^{-1}$ < k < 0.1 Mpc$^{-1}$, [1-8]. Luminous red galaxies and galaxy clusters probe the matter power spectrum on overlapping scales (0.02 Mpc$^{-1}$ < k < 0.7 Mpc$^{-1}$ [9-18]), while the Lyman-alpha forest reaches slightly smaller scales (0.3 Mpc$^{-1} < k < 3$ Mpc$^{-1}$; [19]). These observations indicate that the primordial power spectrum is nearly scale-invariant with amplitude close to $2 \times 10^{-9}$, [5, 20-25]. They also strongly support Inflation and motivate us to obtain constraints reaching to smaller scales on the primordial curvature power spectrum and by implication on Inflation. One could obtain limits to much higher values of $k < 10^5$ Mpc$^{-1}$ and with less sensitivity even higher to $k < 10^{19}- 10^{23}$ Mpc$^{-1}$ using limits from CMB spectral distortions(SD)and on ultracompact minihalo objects(UCMHs)and Primordial Black Holes(PBHs). In this paper, we revisit and collect all the known constraints on both PBHs and UCMHs. We show that unless one uses SD, PBHs give us very relaxed bounds on the primordial curvature perturbations. UCMHs are very informative over a reasonable $k$ range($3 < k < 10^6$ Mpc$^{-1}$)and lead to significant upper-bounds on the curvature spectrum. We review the conditions under which the tighter constraints on the UCMHs could imply extremely strong bounds on the fraction of Dark Matter that could be PBHs. Failure to satisfy these conditions would lead to over production of the UCMHs, which is inconsistent with the observations. Therefore, we can almost rule out PBH within their overlap scales with the UCMHs. We consider the UCMH bounds from experiments such as $\gamma$-rays, Neutrinos, Reionization, pulsar-timing and SD. We show that they lead to comparable results independent of the form of DM. \\ ( https://arxiv.org/abs/1705.09924 , 346kb) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ \\ arXiv:1705.09926 (*cross-listing*) Date: Sun, 28 May 2017 11:18:05 GMT (497kb,D) Title: Chiral magnetic effect of light Authors: Tomoya Hayata Categories: physics.optics cond-mat.mes-hall hep-ph hep-th Comments: 5 pages, 3figures \\ We study a photonic analogue of the chiral magnetic/vortical effect in geometric optics. We discuss that the vector component of magnetoelectric tensors plays a role of gravitational fields, and its rotation causes the Coriolis force in a ray of light. The Coriolis force results in anomalous shift of a ray of light through an interplay with the Berry curvature of photons. The mechanism is the same as that of the chiral magnetic/vortical effect of a chiral fermion. As a result, magnetoelectric material can act as a chiral (helical) prism, which separates lights according to their helicities. \\ ( https://arxiv.org/abs/1705.09926 , 497kb) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ \\ arXiv:1705.10054 (*cross-listing*) Date: Mon, 29 May 2017 07:05:28 GMT (524kb) Title: Thermal Sunyaev-Zel'dovich effect in the intergalactic medium with primordial magnetic fields Authors: Teppei Minoda, Kenji Hasegawa, Hiroyuki Tashiro, Kiyotomo Ichiki, and Naoshi Sugiyama Categories: astro-ph.CO astro-ph.GA hep-ph Comments: 10 pages, 3 figures, 1 table, submitted to PRD \\ The presence of ubiquitous magnetic fields in the universe is suggested from observations of radiation and cosmic ray from galaxies or the intergalactic medium (IGM). One possible origin of cosmic magnetic fields is the magnetogenesis in the primordial universe. Such magnetic fields are called primordial magnetic fields (PMFs), and are considered to affect the evolution of matter density fluctuations and the thermal history of the IGM gas. Hence the information of PMFs is expected to be imprinted on the anisotropies of the cosmic microwave background (CMB) through the thermal Sunyaev-Zel'dovich (tSZ) effect in the IGM. In this study, given an initial power spectrum of PMFs as $P(k)\propto B_{\rm 1Mpc}^2 k^{n_{B}}$, we calculate dynamical and thermal evolutions of the IGM under the influence of PMFs, and compute the resultant angular power spectrum of the Compton $y$-parameter on the sky. As a result, we find that two physical processes driven by PMFs dominantly determine the power spectrum of the Compton $y$-parameter; (i) the heating due to the ambipolar diffusion effectively works to increase the temperature and the ionization fraction, and (ii) the Lorentz force drastically enhances the density contrast just after the recombination epoch. These facts result in making the tSZ angular power spectrum induced by the PMFs more remarkable at $\ell >10^4$ than that by galaxy clusters even with $B_{\rm 1Mpc}=0.1$ nG and $n_{B}=-1.0$ because the contribution from galaxy clusters decreases with increasing $\ell$. The measurement of the tSZ angular power spectrum on high $\ell$ modes can provide the stringent constraint on PMFs. \\ ( https://arxiv.org/abs/1705.10054 , 524kb) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ \\ arXiv:1705.10110 (*cross-listing*) Date: Mon, 29 May 2017 10:49:03 GMT (602kb) Title: Gluo-dissociation of Heavy Quarkonium in the Quark-Gluon Plasma Revisited Authors: Shile Chen and Min He Categories: nucl-th hep-ph Comments: 9 pages, 5 figures \\ Using an effective Hamiltonian derived from the QCD multipole expansion, we calculate the cross sections of gluo-dissociation of heavy quarkonia in the quark-gluon plasma, by including both the chromo-electric dipole ($E_1$) as well as the chromo-magnetic dipole ($M_1$) transition mechanisms. While the former allows to reproduce the results from operator-product-expansion calculations in the Coulomb approximation, the latter as a novel contribution is shown to be significant at low energies close to the threshold. Using thus obtained cross sections, we further carry out a full calculation of the gluo-dissociation rates for various charmonia and bottomonia within a non-relativitic in-medium potential model. The $M_1$ contribution turns out to be most prominent for the $J/\psi$ and accounts for $\sim 10\%-25\%$ of the total ($E1+M1$) dissociation rate at temperatures close to the transition temperature. \\ ( https://arxiv.org/abs/1705.10110 , 602kb) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ \\ arXiv:1705.10163 (*cross-listing*) Date: Mon, 29 May 2017 13:11:36 GMT (66kb) Title: The analytic structure and the transcendental weight of the BFKL ladder at NLL accuracy Authors: Vittorio Del Duca, Claude Duhr, Robin Marzucca, Bram Verbeek Categories: hep-th hep-ph Comments: 45 pages, 1 figure, 1 table Report-no: CP3-17-14, CERN-TH-2017-113 \\ We study some analytic properties of the BFKL ladder at next-to-leading logarithmic accuracy (NLLA). After generalising a procedure by Chirilli and Kovchegov to construct consistent NLO eigenfunctions for any value of $n$, we show that the BFKL ladder can be evaluated order by order in the coupling in terms of certain generalised single-valued multiple polylogarithms recently introduced by Schnetz. We develop techniques to evaluate the BFKL ladder at any loop order, and we present explicit results up to five loops. Using the freedom in defining the matter content of the NLO BFKL eigenvalue, we obtain conditions for the BFKL ladder in momentum space at NLLA to have maximal transcendental weight. We observe that, unlike in moment space, the result in momentum space in N=4 SYM is not identical to the maximal weight part of QCD, and moreover that there is no gauge theory with this property. We classify the theories for which the BFKL ladder at NLLA has maximal weight in terms of their field content, and we find that these theories are highly constrained: there are precisely four classes of theories with this property involving only fundamental and adjoint matter, all of which have a vanishing one-loop beta function and a matter content that fits into supersymmetric multiplets. Our findings indicate that theories which have maximal weight are highly constrained and point to the possibility that there is a connection between maximal transcendentality weight and superconformal symmetry. \\ ( https://arxiv.org/abs/1705.10163 , 66kb) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ \\ arXiv:1705.10191 (*cross-listing*) Date: Thu, 25 May 2017 23:27:46 GMT (1321kb,D) Title: Anisotropic hydrodynamic modeling of 2.76 TeV Pb-Pb collisions Authors: Mubarak Alqahtani, Mohammad Nopoush, Radoslaw Ryblewski, and Michael Strickland Categories: nucl-th hep-ph Comments: 29 pages, 8 figures. arXiv admin note: text overlap with arXiv:1703.05808 \\ We compare phenomenological results from 3+1d quasiparticle anisotropic hydrodynamics (aHydroQP) with experimental data collected in LHC 2.76 TeV Pb-Pb collisions. In particular, we present comparisons of particle spectra, average transverse momentum, elliptic flow, and HBT radii. The aHydroQP model relies on the introduction of a single temperature-dependent quasiparticle mass which is fit to lattice QCD data. By taking moments of the resulting Boltzmann equation, we obtain the dynamical equations used in the hydrodynamic stage which include the effects of both shear and bulk viscosities. At freeze-out, we use anisotropic Cooper-Frye freeze-out performed on a fixed-energy-density hypersurface to convert to hadrons. To model the production and decays of the hadrons we use THERMINATOR 2 which is customized to sample from ellipsoidal momentum-space distribution functions. Using smooth Glauber initial conditions, we find very good agreement with many heavy-ion collision observables. \\ ( https://arxiv.org/abs/1705.10191 , 1321kb) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ \\ arXiv:1705.10210 (*cross-listing*) Date: Mon, 29 May 2017 14:26:43 GMT (1276kb,D) Title: Landau levels in QCD Authors: F.

Wellnhofer Categories: hep-lat hep-ph hep-th nucl-th Comments: 21 pages, 19 figures \\ We present first evidence for the Landau level structure of Dirac eigenmodes in full QCD for nonzero background magnetic fields, based on first principles lattice simulations using staggered quarks. Our approach involves the identification of the lowest Landau level modes in two dimensions, where topological arguments ensure a clear separation of these modes from energetically higher states, and an expansion of the full four-dimensional modes in the basis of these two-dimensional states. We evaluate various fermionic observables including the quark condensate and the spin polarization in this basis to find how much the lowest Landau level contributes to them. The results allow for a deeper insight into the dynamics of quarks and gluons in background magnetic fields and may be directly compared to low-energy models of QCD employing the lowest Landau level approximation. \\ ( https://arxiv.org/abs/1705.10210 , 1276kb) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ \\ arXiv:1705.10236 (*cross-listing*) Date: Mon, 29 May 2017 15:12:25 GMT (85kb,D) Title: Second moment of the pion distribution amplitude with the momentum smearing technique Authors: RQCD Collaboration: G.
