Bernlochner, Zoltan Ligeti, Dean J. Robinson Categories: hep-ph Comments: 6 pages \\ The determination of $|V_{cb}|$ from exclusive semileptonic $B\to D^*\ell\nu$ decays is sensitive to the choice of form factor parametrization. Larger $|V_{cb}|$ values are obtained fitting the BGL versus the CLN parametrization to recent Belle measurements. For the BGL parametrization, published fits use different numbers of parameters. We propose a method based on nested hypothesis tests to determine the optimal number of BGL parameters to fit the data, and find that six parameters are optimal to fit the Belle tagged and unfolded measurement. We further explore the differences between fits that use different numbers of parameters. The fits which yield $|V_{cb}|$ values in better agreement with determinations from inclusive semileptonic decays, tend to exhibit tensions with heavy quark symmetry expectations. These have to be resolved before the determinations of $|V_{cb}|$ from exclusive and inclusive decays can be considered understood. \\ ( https://arxiv.org/abs/1902.09553 , 213kb) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ \\ arXiv:1902.09561 Date: Mon, 25 Feb 2019 19:00:17 GMT (1744kb,D) Title: Tensors for tending to tensions in $ \tau $ decays Authors: Amol Dighe, Subhajit Ghosh, Girish Kumar and Tuhin S. Roy Categories: hep-ph \\ We propose a manifestly gauge invariant effective tensor operator that can account for the $ CP $ asymmetry anomaly in $ \tau $ decays, contrary to the claim made in literature. Additionally, this operator can also help in resolving the long-standing discrepancy in the value of $ V_{us} $ extracted from inclusive $ \tau $ decays. By construction, the operator evades bounds from neutron electric dipole moment, while keeping the extraction of $ V_{us} $ from exclusive $ \tau $ decays unaffected. We explicitly provide a renormalizable model of flavor symmetries that yields the desired effective tensor operator. \\ ( https://arxiv.org/abs/1902.09561 , 1744kb) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ \\ arXiv:1902.09735 Date: Tue, 26 Feb 2019 05:14:50 GMT (1843kb,D) Title: Mesons with Beauty and Charm: New Horizons in Spectroscopy Authors: Estia J. Eichten and Chris Quigg Categories: hep-ph Comments: 15 pages, 13 figures, uses RevTeX Report-no: FERMILAB--PUB--19/075--T \\ The $B_c ^+$ family of $(c\bar{b})$ mesons with beauty and charm is of special interest among heavy quarkonium systems. The $B_c ^+$ mesons are intermediate between $(c\bar{c})$ and $(b\bar{b})$ states both in mass and size, so many features of the $(c\bar{b})$ spectrum can be inferred from what we know of the charmonium and bottomonium systems. The unequal quark masses mean that the dynamics may be richer than a simple interpolation would imply, in part because the charmed quark moves faster in $B_c$ than in the $J/\psi$. Close examination of the $B_c ^+$ spectrum can test our understanding of the interactions between heavy quarks and antiquarks and may reveal where approximations break down. ... \\ ( https://arxiv.org/abs/1902.09735 , 1843kb) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ \\ arXiv:1902.09775 Date: Tue, 26 Feb 2019 07:33:59 GMT (49kb,D) Title: Particlization with local event-by-event conservation laws Authors: Dmytro Oliinychenko, Volker Koch Categories: hep-ph nucl-th Comments: 4 pages, 1 figure \\ We present a sampling method for the transition from relativistic hydrodynamics to particle transport, commonly referred to as particlization, which preserves the local event-by-event conservation of energy, momentum, baryon number, strangeness, and electric charge. The proposed method is essential for studying fluctuations and correlations by means of stochastic hydrodynamics. It is also useful for studying small systems. The method is based on Metropolis sampling applied to particles within distinct patches of the hypersurface, where hydrodynamics and kinetic evolutions are matched. \\ ( https://arxiv.org/abs/1902.09775 , 49kb) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ \\ arXiv:1902.09799 Date: Tue, 26 Feb 2019 08:43:25 GMT (78kb,D) Title: Few-body insights of multiquark exotic hadrons Authors: Javier Vijande, Jean-Marc Richard and Alfredo Valcarce Categories: hep-ph Comments: Plenary talk at the XXII International Conference on Few-Body Problems in Physics (FB22) \\ In this contribution we discuss the adequate treatment of the $4-$ and $5-$body dynamics within a constituent quark framework. We stress that the variational and Born-Oppenheimer approximations give energies rather close to the exact ones, while the diquark approximation might be rather misleading. Hall-Post inequalities provide very useful lower bounds that exclude possible stable states for some mass ratios and color wave functions. \\ ( https://arxiv.org/abs/1902.09799 , 78kb) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ \\ arXiv:1902.09911 Date: Tue, 26 Feb 2019 13:10:18 GMT (396kb) Title: The top quark polarization beyond the Standard Model in electron-positron annihilation Authors: I.V. Truten, A.Yu. Korchin Categories: hep-ph Comments: 10 pages, 5 figures, ujp style \\ Electron-positron annihilation into a pair of top quarks is considered at the energy of future collider CLIC. Polarization components of the top quark are calculated with the $\gamma t \bar{t}$ and $Z t \bar{t}$ interactions which follow from Lagrangian of effective field theory of the Standard Model. The polarization vector as a function of the scattering angle is calculated and averaged components of polarization are analyzed as functions of anomalous coupling constants. Extrema of these observables (maxima, minima and saddle points) are studied as functions of the $e^+ e^-$ energy. \\ ( https://arxiv.org/abs/1902.09911 , 396kb) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ \\ arXiv:1902.09914 Date: Tue, 26 Feb 2019 13:13:03 GMT (3414kb,D) Title: The Machine Learning Landscape of Top Taggers Authors: G.

Alikhanov, E. A. Paschos Categories: hep-ph Comments: 18 pages, 6 figures \\ We construct a local gauge theory with Majorana neutrinos and study its implications. The theory is based on the group $SU(2)\times U(1)\times U(1)'$ with a mixing between the $U(1)$ and $U(1)'$ gauge bosons. Majorana neutrinos couple only to the gauged $U(1)'$. There is a small coupling of the Majorana neutrinos to $Z_\mu$ and a large coupling to the new gauge boson $X_\mu$. In addition the $X_\mu$ has small couplings to the Standard Model fermions which leads to new processes. We estimate limits for the coupling constants and compute differential cross sections. \\ ( https://arxiv.org/abs/1902.09950 , 160kb) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ \\ arXiv:1902.09971 Date: Tue, 26 Feb 2019 14:42:58 GMT (103kb,AD) Title: Elliptic polylogarithms and Feynman parameter integrals Authors: Johannes Broedel, Claude Duhr, Falko Dulat, Brenda Penante, Lorenzo Tancredi Categories: hep-ph hep-th Report-no: CP3-19-07, CERN-TH-2019-016, HU-Mathematik-2019-01, HU-EP-19/03, SLAC-PUB-17406 \\ In this paper we study the calculation of multiloop Feynman integrals that cannot be expressed in terms of multiple polylogarithms. We show in detail how certain types of two- and three-point functions at two loops, which appear in the calculation of higher order corrections in QED, QCD and in the electroweak theory (EW), can naturally be expressed in terms of a recently introduced elliptic generalisation of multiple polylogarithms by direct integration over their Feynman parameter representation. Moreover, we show that in all examples that we considered a basis of pure Feynman integrals can be found. \\ ( https://arxiv.org/abs/1902.09971 , 103kb) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ \\ arXiv:1902.09988 Date: Tue, 26 Feb 2019 15:10:14 GMT (570kb,D) Title: The Puzzle of Muons in Extensive Air Showers Authors: Maciej Rybczynski and Zbigniew Wlodarczyk Categories: hep-ph Comments: 17 pages, 11 figures, accepted for publication in International Journal of Modern Physics D DOI: 10.1142/S0218271819500974 \\ In order to examine a muon excess observed by the Pierre Auger Observatory, detailed Monte Carlo simulations were carried out for primary protons, iron nuclei and strangelets (hypothetical stable lumps of strange quark matter). We obtained a rough agreement between the simulations and the data for ordinary nuclei without any contribution of strangelets in primary flux of cosmic rays. Our simulations suggest that the shower observables are dominated by details of hadronic interaction models. \\ ( https://arxiv.org/abs/1902.09988 , 570kb) %-%-%-%-%-%-%-%-%-%-%-%-%-%-%-%-%-%-%-%-%-%-%-%-%-%-%-%-%-%-%-%-%-%-%-%-%-%-%- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ \\ arXiv:1902.09557 (*cross-listing*) Date: Mon, 25 Feb 2019 19:00:03 GMT (1506kb,D) Title: Metastability in Quadratic Gravity Authors: Alberto Salvio Categories: gr-qc hep-ph hep-th Comments: 6 pages, 5 figures \\ Quadratic gravity is a UV completion of general relativity, which also solves the hierarchy problem. The presence of 4 derivatives implies via the Ostrogradsky theorem that the $classical$ Hamiltonian is unbounded from below. Here we solve this issue by showing that the relevant solutions are not unstable but metastable. When the energies are much below a threshold (that is high enough to describe the whole cosmology) runaways are avoided. Remarkably, the chaotic inflation theory of initial conditions ensures that such bound is satisfied and we work out testable implications for the early universe. The possible instability occurring when the bound is violated not only is compatible with cosmology but would also explain why we live in a homogeneous and isotropic universe. \\ ( https://arxiv.org/abs/1902.09557 , 1506kb) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ \\ arXiv:1902.09562 (*cross-listing*) Date: Mon, 25 Feb 2019 19:00:36 GMT (1418kb,D) Title: Ruling out 3 keV warm dark matter using 21 cm-EDGES data Authors: Atrideb Chatterjee, Pratika Dayal, Tirthankar Roy Choudhury and Anne Hutter Categories: astro-ph.CO astro-ph.GA hep-ph Comments: Submitted to MNRAS; comments welcome \\ Weakly interacting cold dark matter (CDM) particles, which are otherwise extremely successful in explaining various cosmological observations, exhibit a number of problems on small scales. One possible way of solving these problems is to invoke (so-called) warm dark matter (WDM) particles with masses $m_x \sim$ keV. Since the formation of structure is delayed in such WDM models, it is natural to expect that they can be constrained using observations related to the first stars, e.g., the 21 cm signal from cosmic dawn. In this work, we use a detailed galaxy formation model, Delphi, to calculate the 21 cm signal at high-redshifts and compare this to the recent EDGES observations. We find that while CDM and 5 keV WDM models can obtain a 21 cm signal within the observed redshift range, reproducing the amplitude of the observations requires the introduction of an excess radio background. On the other hand, WDM models with $m_x \leq 3$ keV can be ruled out since they are unable to match either the redshift range or the amplitude of the EDGES signal, irrespective of the parameters used. Comparable to values obtained from the low-redshift Lyman Alpha forest, our results extend constraints on the WDM particle to an era inaccessible by any other means; additional forthcoming 21 cm data from the era of cosmic dawn will be crucial in refining such constraints. \\ ( https://arxiv.org/abs/1902.09562 , 1418kb) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ \\ arXiv:1902.09598 (*cross-listing*) Date: Mon, 25 Feb 2019 20:23:42 GMT (13958kb,D) Title: Stochastic Particle Production in a de Sitter Background Authors: Marcos A. G. Garcia, Mustafa A. Amin, Scott G. Carlsten, Daniel Green Categories: astro-ph.CO hep-ph hep-th Comments: 80 pages, 44 figures \\ We explore non-adiabatic particle production in a de Sitter universe for a scalar spectator field, by allowing the effective mass $m^2(t)$ of this field and the cosmic time interval between non-adiabatic events to vary stochastically. Two main scenarios are considered depending on the (non-stochastic) mass $M$ of the spectator field: the conformal case with $M^2=2H^2$, and the case of a massless field. We make use of the transfer matrix formalism to parametrize the evolution of the system in terms of the "occupation number", and two phases associated with the transfer matrix; these are used to construct the evolution of the spectator field. Assuming short-time interactions approximated by Dirac-delta functions, we numerically track the change of these parameters and the field in all regimes: sub- and super-horizon with weak and strong scattering. In all cases a log-normally distributed field amplitude is observed, and the logarithm of the field amplitude approximately satisfies the properties of a Wiener process outside the horizon. We derive a Fokker-Planck equation for the evolution of the transfer matrix parameters, which allows us to calculate analytically non-trivial distributions and moments in the weak-scattering limit. \\ ( https://arxiv.org/abs/1902.09598 , 13958kb) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ \\ arXiv:1902.09663 (*cross-listing*) Date: Mon, 25 Feb 2019 23:49:00 GMT (252kb,D) Title: Are starburst galaxies a common source of high energy neutrinos and cosmic rays? Authors: Cecilia Lunardini, Gregory S. Vance, Kimberly L. Emig and Rogier A. Windhorst Categories: astro-ph.HE hep-ph Comments: 10 pages, including 1 figure and 1 table \\ A recent analysis of cosmic ray air showers observed at the Pierre Auger Observatory indicates that nearby starburst galaxies (SBGs) might be the cause of ~ 10% of the Ultra-High-Energy Cosmic Ray flux at energies E > 39 EeV. Since high energy neutrinos are a direct product of cosmic ray interactions, we investigate SBGs as a possible source of some of the 0.1-1 PeV neutrinos observed at IceCube. A statistical analysis is performed to establish the degree of positional correlation between the observed neutrinos and a set of nearby, radio- and infrared-bright SBGs. Our results are consistent with no causal correlation. However, a scenario where ~ 10% of the neutrino data are coming from the candidate SBGs is not excluded. The same conclusion is reached for two different IceCube data sets (and their subsets, including shower-like and track-like events), as well as two different subsets of SBGs motivated by the Pierre Auger Observatory analysis. \\ ( https://arxiv.org/abs/1902.09663 , 252kb) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ \\ arXiv:1902.10052 (*cross-listing*) Date: Tue, 26 Feb 2019 16:57:42 GMT (13kb) Title: Prehistory of Neutrino Oscillations Authors: S.M.

There is no classical de Sitter solution with parallel sources. 2. Classical de Sitter solutions with intersecting sources are unstable. 3. Classical de Sitter solutions cannot have at the same time a large internal volume, a small string coupling, a bounded number of orientifolds and quantized fluxes. These three conjectures are of particular relevance to the swampland program, and if true, they challenge the connection of string theory to cosmology. We restrict here to a standard solution ansatz for which the problem is well-defined, and we still fail to prove analytically any of these conjectures. While developing new tools and obtaining new constraints, we identify remaining corners of parameter space where counter-examples to these conjectures could be found. \\ ( https://arxiv.org/abs/1902.10093 , 40kb) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ \\ arXiv:1902.10096 (*cross-listing*) Date: Tue, 26 Feb 2019 18:25:37 GMT (35kb,D) Title: High-redshift Mini-haloes from Modulated Preheating Authors: Zhiqi Huang Categories: astro-ph.CO gr-qc hep-ph Comments: submitted to PRL MSC-class: 83F05 ACM-class: J.2 \\ Intermittent type of primordial non-Gaussian fluctuations from modulated preheating can produce an overabundance of $\sim 10^8M_\odot$ mini-haloes at high redshift $z\gtrsim 20$.
