Pos(Lattice 2010)246 Mass? W ∗ Speaker
Dynamical W mass? PoS(Lattice 2010)246 Bernd A. Berg∗ Department of Physics, Florida State University, Tallahassee, FL 32306, USA As long as a Higgs boson is not observed, the design of alternatives for electroweak symmetry breaking remains of interest. The question addressed here is whether there are possibly dynamical mechanisms, which deconfine SU(2) at zero temperature and generate a massive vector boson triplet. Results for a model with joint local U(2) transformations of SU(2) and U(1) vector fields are presented in a limit, which does not involve any unobserved fields.

Introduction In Euclidean field theory notation the action of the electroweak gauge part of the standard model reads Z 1 1 S = d4xLew , Lew = − FemFem − TrFb Fb , (1.1) 4 µν µν 2 µν µν em b Fµν = ∂µ aν − ∂ν aµ , Fµν = ∂µ Bν − ∂ν Bµ + igb Bµ ,Bν , (1.2) 0 PoS(Lattice 2010)246 where aµ are U(1) and Bµ are SU(2) gauge fields. Typical textbook introductions of the standard model emphasize at this point that the theory contains four massless gauge bosons and introduce the Higgs mechanism as a vehicle to modify the theory so that only one gauge boson, the photon, stays massless. Such presentations reflect that the introduction of the Higgs particle in electroweak interactions [1] preceded our non-perturbative understanding of non-Abelian gauge theories. -

(Dated: April 2, 2015) Abstract A possible manifestation of an additional light gauge boson A0, named as Dark Photon, associated with a group U(1)B−L is studied in neutrino electron scattering experiments. The exclusion plot on the coupling constant gB−L and the dark photon mass MA0 is obtained. It is shown that contributions of interference term between the dark photon and the Standard Model are important. The interference effects are studied and compared with for data sets from TEXONO, GEMMA, BOREXINO, LSND as well as CHARM II experiments. Our results provide more stringent bounds to some regions of parameter space. PACS numbers: 13.15.+g,12.60.+i,14.70.Pw arXiv:1502.07763v2 [hep-ph] 1 Apr 2015 1 CONTENTS I. Introduction 2 II.

Reconstruction of B D*°e ve Decays and Determination of \Vcb\ DISSERTATION zur Erlangung des akademischen Grades Doctor rerum naturalium (Dr.rer.nat.) vorgelegt der Fakultat Mathematik und Naturwissenschaften der Technischen Universitat Dresden von Diplom-Physiker Jens Schubert geboren am 11.03.1977 in Pirna 1. Gutachter : Prof. Dr. Klaus R. Schubert 2. Gutachter : Prof. Dr. Michael Kobel 3. Gutachter : Dr. Jochen C. Dingfelder Eingereicht am: 01.12.2006 Abstract In this analysis the decay B- ^ D* 0e-Ve is measured. The underlying data sample consists of about 226 million BB-pairs accumulated on the Y(4S) resonance by the BABAR detector at the asymmetric e+e- collider PEP-II. The reconstruction of the decay uses the channels D*° ^ D0n0, D° ^ K-n+ and n0 ^ 77. The neutrino is not reconstructed. Since the rest frame of the B meson is unknown, the boost w of the D*° meson in the B meson rest frame is estimated by w. The W spectrum of the data is described in terms of the partial decay width dr/dw given by theory and the detector simulation translating each spectrum dr/dw into an expectation of the measured w spectrum. dr/dw depends on a form factor F(w) parameterizing the strong interaction in the decay process. To find the best descriptive dr/dw a fit to the data determines the following two parameters of dr/dw: (i) F(1)|VCb|, the product between F at zero D* 0-recoil and the CKM matrix element |Vcb|; (ii) p A , a parameter of the form factor F(w). -
Physics Potential of a High-Luminosity J/Ψ Factory Abstract
Physics Potential of a High-luminosity J= Factory Andrzej Kupsc,1, ∗ Hai-Bo Li,2, y and Stephen Lars Olsen3, z 1Uppsala University, Box 516, SE-75120 Uppsala, Sweden 2Institute of High Energy Physics, Beijing 100049, People’s Republic of China 3Institute for Basic Science, Daejeon 34126, Republic of Korea Abstract We examine the scientific opportunities offered by a dedicated “J= factory” comprising an e+e− collider equipped with a polarized e− beam and a monochromator that reduces the center-of-mass energy spread of the colliding beams. Such a facility, which would have budget implications that are similar to those of the Fermilab muon program, would produce O(1013) J= events per Snowmass year and support tests of discrete symmetries in hyperon decays and in- vestigations of QCD confinement with unprecedented precision. While the main emphasis of this study is on searches for new sources of CP -violation in hyperon decays with sensitivities that reach the Standard Model expectations, such a facility would additionally provide unique opportunities for sensitive studies of the spectroscopy and decay − properties of glueball and QCD-hybrid mesons. Polarized e beam operation with Ecm just above the 2mτ threshold would support a search for CP violation in τ − ! π−π0ν decays with unique sensitivity. Operation at the 0 peak would enable unique probes of the Dark Sector via invisible decays of the J= and other light mesons.

Glueball Searches Using Electron-Positron Annihilations with BESIII
FAIRNESS2019 IOP Publishing Journal of Physics: Conference Series 1667 (2020) 012019 doi:10.1088/1742-6596/1667/1/012019 Glueball searches using electron-positron annihilations with BESIII R Kappert and J G Messchendorp, for the BESIII collaboration KVI-CART, University of Groningen, Groningen, The Netherlands E-mail: [email protected] Abstract. Using a BESIII-data sample of 1:31 × 109 J= events collected in 2009 and 2012, the glueball-sensitive decay J= ! γpp¯ is analyzed. In the past, an exciting near-threshold enhancement X(pp¯) showed up. Furthermore, the poorly-understood properties of the ηc resonance, its radiative production, and many other interesting dynamics can be studied via this decay. The high statistics provided by BESIII enables to perform a partial-wave analysis (PWA) of the reaction channel. With a PWA, the spin-parity of the possible intermediate glueball state can be determined unambiguously and more information can be gained about the dynamics of other resonances, such as the ηc. The main background contributions are from final-state radiation and from the J= ! π0(γγ)pp¯ channel. In a follow-up study, we will investigate the possibilities to further suppress the background and to use data-driven methods to control them. 1. Introduction The discovery of the Higgs boson has been a breakthrough in the understanding of the origin of mass. However, this boson only explains 1% of the total mass of baryons. The remaining 99% originates, according to quantum chromodynamics (QCD), from the self-interaction of the gluons. The nature of gluons gives rise to the formation of exotic hadronic matter. -
10 Progressing Beyond the Standard Models

The Australian National University, Canberra, ACT 2601, Australia Abstract. The Standard Model of particle physics (SMPP) has enjoyed considerable success in describing a whole range of phenomena in particle physics. However, the model is con- sidered incomplete because it provides little understanding of other empirical observations such as the existence of three generations of leptons and quarks, which apart from mass have similar properties. This paper examines the basic assumptions upon which the SMPP is built and compares these with the assumptions of an alternative model, the Generation Model (GM). The GM provides agreement with the SMPP for those phenomena which the SMPP is able to describe, but it is shown that the assumptions inherent in the GM allow progress beyond the SMPP. In particular the GM leads to new paradigms for both mass and gravity. The new theory for gravity provides an understanding of both dark matter and dark energy, representing progress beyond the Standard Model of Cosmology (SMC). Povzetek.

Detection of a Hypercharge Axion in ATLAS
Detection of a Hypercharge Axion in ATLAS a Monte-Carlo Simulation of a Pseudo-Scalar Particle (Hypercharge Axion) with Electroweak Interactions for the ATLAS Detector in the Large Hadron Collider at CERN Erik Elfgren [email protected] December, 2000 Division of Physics Lule˚aUniversity of Technology Lule˚a, SE-971 87, Sweden http://www.luth.se/depts/mt/fy/ Abstract This Master of Science thesis treats the hypercharge axion, which is a hy- pothetical pseudo-scalar particle with electroweak interactions. First, the theoretical context and the motivations for this study are discussed. In short, the hypercharge axion is introduced to explain the dominance of matter over antimatter in the universe and the existence of large-scale magnetic fields. Second, the phenomenological properties are analyzed and the distin- guishing marks are underlined. These are basically the products of photons and Z0swithhightransversemomentaandinvariantmassequaltothatof the axion. Third, the simulation is carried out with two photons producing the axion which decays into Z0s and/or photons. The event simulation is run through the simulator ATLFAST of ATLAS (A Toroidal Large Hadron Col- lider ApparatuS) at CERN. Finally, the characteristics of the axion decay are analyzed and the crite- ria for detection are presented. A study of the background is also included. The result is that for certain values of the axion mass and the mass scale (both in the order of a TeV), the hypercharge axion could be detected in ATLAS. Preface This is a Master of Science thesis at the Lule˚a University of Technology, Sweden. The research has been done at Universit´edeMontr´eal, Canada, under the supervision of Professor Georges Azuelos. -

Several different forms of the Kobayashi-Maskawa parametrization are found in the In the Standard Model with SU(2) × U(1) as the gauge group of literature.
