  • Trinity of Strangeon Matter
    Trinity of Strangeon Matter Renxin Xu1,2 1School of Physics and Kavli Institute for Astronomy and Astrophysics, Peking University, Beijing 100871, China, 2State Key Laboratory of Nuclear Physics and Technology, Peking University, Beijing 100871, China; [email protected] Abstract. Strangeon is proposed to be the constituent of bulk strong matter, as an analogy of nucleon for an atomic nucleus. The nature of both nucleon matter (2 quark flavors, u and d) and strangeon matter (3 flavors, u, d and s) is controlled by the strong-force, but the baryon number of the former is much smaller than that of the latter, to be separated by a critical number of Ac ∼ 109. While micro nucleon matter (i.e., nuclei) is focused by nuclear physicists, astrophysical/macro strangeon matter could be manifested in the form of compact stars (strangeon star), cosmic rays (strangeon cosmic ray), and even dark matter (strangeon dark matter). This trinity of strangeon matter is explained, that may impact dramatically on today’s physics. Symmetry does matter: from Plato to flavour. Understanding the world’s structure, either micro or macro/cosmic, is certainly essential for Human beings to avoid superstitious belief as well as to move towards civilization. The basic unit of normal matter was speculated even in the pre-Socratic period of the Ancient era (the basic stuff was hypothesized to be indestructible “atoms” by Democritus), but it was a belief that symmetry, which is well-defined in mathematics, should play a key role in understanding the material structure, such as the Platonic solids (i.e., the five regular convex polyhedrons).

  • The Five Common Particles
    The Five Common Particles The world around you consists of only three particles: protons, neutrons, and electrons. Protons and neutrons form the nuclei of atoms, and electrons glue everything together and create chemicals and materials. Along with the photon and the neutrino, these particles are essentially the only ones that exist in our solar system, because all the other subatomic particles have half-lives of typically 10-9 second or less, and vanish almost the instant they are created by nuclear reactions in the Sun, etc. Particles interact via the four fundamental forces of nature. Some basic properties of these forces are summarized below. (Other aspects of the fundamental forces are also discussed in the Summary of Particle Physics document on this web site.) Force Range Common Particles It Affects Conserved Quantity gravity infinite neutron, proton, electron, neutrino, photon mass-energy electromagnetic infinite proton, electron, photon charge -14 strong nuclear force ≈ 10 m neutron, proton baryon number -15 weak nuclear force ≈ 10 m neutron, proton, electron, neutrino lepton number Every particle in nature has specific values of all four of the conserved quantities associated with each force.

  • Beyond the Standard Model Physics at CLIC
    RM3-TH/19-2 Beyond the Standard Model physics at CLIC Roberto Franceschini Università degli Studi Roma Tre and INFN Roma Tre, Via della Vasca Navale 84, I-00146 Roma, ITALY Abstract A summary of the recent results from CERN Yellow Report on the CLIC potential for new physics is presented, with emphasis on the di- rect search for new physics scenarios motivated by the open issues of the Standard Model. arXiv:1902.10125v1 [hep-ph] 25 Feb 2019 Talk presented at the International Workshop on Future Linear Colliders (LCWS2018), Arlington, Texas, 22-26 October 2018. C18-10-22. 1 Introduction The Compact Linear Collider (CLIC) [1,2,3,4] is a proposed future linear e+e− collider based on a novel two-beam accelerator scheme [5], which in recent years has reached several milestones and established the feasibility of accelerating structures necessary for a new large scale accelerator facility (see e.g. [6]). The project is foreseen to be carried out in stages which aim at precision studies of Standard Model particles such as the Higgs boson and the top quark and allow the exploration of new physics at the high energy frontier. The detailed staging of the project is presented in Ref. [7,8], where plans for the target luminosities at each energy are outlined. These targets can be adjusted easily in case of discoveries at the Large Hadron Collider or at earlier CLIC stages. In fact the collision energy, up to 3 TeV, can be set by a suitable choice of the length of the accelerator and the duration of the data taking can also be adjusted to follow hints that the LHC may provide in the years to come.

The chiral quark model is a theory which can be used to describe low energy phenomena of baryons. In Paper 1, the chiral quark model is studied using wave functions with configuration mixing. This study is motivated by the fact that the chiral quark model cannot otherwise break the Coleman–Glashow sum-rule for the magnetic moments of the octet baryons, which is experimentally broken by about ten standard deviations. Configuration mixing with quark-diquark components is also able to reproduce the octet baryon magnetic moments very accurately. In Paper 2, the chiral quark model is used to calculate the decuplet baryon ++ magnetic moments. The values for the magnetic moments of the ∆ and Ω− are in good agreement with the experimental results.

  • Introduction to Flavour Physics
    Introduction to flavour physics Y. Grossman Cornell University, Ithaca, NY 14853, USA Abstract In this set of lectures we cover the very basics of flavour physics. The lec- tures are aimed to be an entry point to the subject of flavour physics. A lot of problems are provided in the hope of making the manuscript a self-study guide. 1 Welcome statement My plan for these lectures is to introduce you to the very basics of flavour physics. After the lectures I hope you will have enough knowledge and, more importantly, enough curiosity, and you will go on and learn more about the subject. These are lecture notes and are not meant to be a review. In the lectures, I try to talk about the basic ideas, hoping to give a clear picture of the physics. Thus many details are omitted, implicit assumptions are made, and no references are given. Yet details are important: after you go over the current lecture notes once or twice, I hope you will feel the need for more. Then it will be the time to turn to the many reviews [1–10] and books [11, 12] on the subject. I try to include many homework problems for the reader to solve, much more than what I gave in the actual lectures. If you would like to learn the material, I think that the problems provided are the way to start. They force you to fully understand the issues and apply your knowledge to new situations. The problems are given at the end of each section.

  • Neutrino Mixing
    Citation: M. Tanabashi et al. (Particle Data Group), Phys. Rev. D 98, 030001 (2018) Neutrino Mixing With the exception of the short-baseline anomalies such as LSND, current neutrino data can be described within the framework of a 3×3 mixing matrix between the flavor eigen- states νe, νµ, and ντ and the mass eigenstates ν1, ν2, and ν3. (See Eq. (14.6) of the review “Neutrino Mass, Mixing, and Oscillations” by K. Nakamura and S.T. Petcov.) The Listings are divided into the following sections: (A) Neutrino fluxes and event ratios: shows measurements which correspond to various oscillation tests for Accelerator, Re- actor, Atmospheric, and Solar neutrino experiments. Typically ratios involve a measurement in a realm sensitive to oscillations compared to one for which no oscillation effect is expected. (B) Three neutrino mixing parameters: shows measure- 2 2 2 2 2 ments of sin (θ12), sin (θ23), ∆m21, ∆m32, sin (θ13) and δCP which are all interpretations of data based on the three neu- trino mixing scheme described in the review “Neutrino Mass, Mixing, and Oscillations.” by K. Nakamura and S.T. Petcov. Many parameters have been calculated in the two-neutrino approximation.

  • Baryon Spectrum of SU(4) Composite Higgs Theory with Two Distinct Fermion Representations
    PHYSICAL REVIEW D 97, 114505 (2018) Baryon spectrum of SU(4) composite Higgs theory with two distinct fermion representations Venkitesh Ayyar,1 Thomas DeGrand,1 Daniel C. Hackett,1 William I. Jay,1 Ethan T. Neil,1,2,* Yigal Shamir,3 and Benjamin Svetitsky3 1Department of Physics, University of Colorado, Boulder, Colorado 80309, USA 2RIKEN-BNL Research Center, Brookhaven National Laboratory, Upton, New York 11973, USA 3Raymond and Beverly Sackler School of Physics and Astronomy, Tel Aviv University, Tel Aviv 69978, Israel (Received 30 January 2018; published 8 June 2018) We use lattice simulations to compute the baryon spectrum of SU(4) lattice gauge theory coupled to dynamical fermions in the fundamental and two-index antisymmetric (sextet) representations simulta- neously. This model is closely related to a composite Higgs model in which the chimera baryon made up of fermions from both representations plays the role of a composite top-quark partner. The dependence of the baryon masses on each underlying fermion mass is found to be generally consistent with a quark-model description and large-Nc scaling. We combine our numerical results with experimental bounds on the scale of the new strong sector to estimate a lower bound on the mass of the top-quark partner. We discuss some theoretical uncertainties associated with this estimate. DOI: 10.1103/PhysRevD.97.114505 I. INTRODUCTION study of the baryon spectrum on a limited set of partially quenched lattices (i.e., with dynamical fundamental In this paper, we compute the baryon spectrum of SU(4) fermions but without dynamical sextet fermions) was gauge theory with simultaneous dynamical fermions in presented in Ref.
