DESCRIPTION:We calculate the second-order QCD corrections to the forward-b
 ackward asymmetry in e+e- annihilation. Using the \nquark axis definition\
 , we do not agree with either existing \ncalculation\, but the difference 
 relative to one of them is small and \nunderstood. In particular\, we poin
 t out that the forward-backward \nasymmetry of massive quarks is enhanced 
 by logarithms of the \nquark mass. This implies that the forward-backward 
 asymmetry of \nmassless quarks is not computable in QCD perturbation theor
 y \nand affected by non-power-suppressed corrections coming from \nthe non
 -perturbative fragmentation functions. We also calculate the \nsecond-orde
 r corrections using the experimentally-preferred thrust \naxis definition 
 for the first time.\n\nhttp://indico.cern.ch/conferenceDisplay.py?confId=a

SUMMARY:CP violation in the Higgs sector of the MSSM

DESCRIPTION:Recently\, it has been found that the tree-level CP invariance
  of the Higgs potential in the minimal supersymmetric standard model (MSSM
 ) can be sizeably broken by loop effects of soft-CP-violating Yukawa inter
 actions related to scalar top and bottom quarks. Within this framework\, t
 he one-loop CP-non-invariant renormalization-group improved effective pote
 ntial is calculated\, including leading logarithms due to two-loop Yukawa 
 and QCD corrections. The CP-violating parameters of this scenario may be c
 onstrained by considering the new two-loop contributions to the electron a
 nd neutron electric dipole moments (EDM’s). After implementing these new 
 EDM constraints\, the three neutral Higgs particles are predicted to stron
 gly mix with one another and significantly modify their tree-level couplin
 gs to fermions and to the W± and Z bosons. The phenomenological consequen
 ces of such a minimal supersymmetric scenario of explicit CP violation on 
 the production rates of the lightest Higgs particle and on its potential d
 iscovery at LEP2 and an upgraded Tevatron machine are discussed.\n\nhttp:/

DESCRIPTION:1)	It is shown that\,in the Standard Model at energies above 2
 50 GeV\, the dominant amplitudes for the processes\ngamma gamma -> gamma g
 amma\, gamma Z and ZZ\, are helicity conserving and almost purely imaginar
 y. This suggests using these processes at a gg Collider\, for searching fo
 r New Physics characterized by largely imaginary amplitudes. As an example
 \, we study the effects induced by possible SUSY particles\, at energies a
 bove their production threshold. Such a study should be done in parallel w
 ith the study of the direct SUSY particle production\, and should be very 
 helpful in identifying the sparticle nature.\n2)	A new class of forward-ba
 ckward asymmetries is constructed for V+jet (V=W\, Z\, gamma) production a
 t a hadron Collider. These asymmetries should be measurable at LHC and the
  upgraded Tevatron\, and should provide a new source of information on the
  gluon structure function of the proton.\n\nhttp://indico.cern.ch/conferen

DESCRIPTION:The shape function  f(k+) is introduced to describe Fermi moti
 on effects in inclusive semileptonic b Æ u decays\, such as for example B
  Æ Xu ln. This function is defined in the framework of the low-energy eff

 he understanding of the latter is essential for connecting the effective t
 heory shape function to the original\, high-energy theory\, observable. In
  the seminar an introduction will be given to the basics and the phenomeno
 logy of the shape function\, together with a discussion of the renormaliza
 tion in various regularisation schemes and of the matching onto full QCD (
 coefficient function).\n\nhttp://indico.cern.ch/conferenceDisplay.py?confI

 reconstruction of the neutrino mass spectrum. In particular\, we find that
  the observations of the spectra may enable us to identify the solar neutr

DESCRIPTION:At future linear e+e- collider experiments in the TeV range\, 
 Sudakov double logarithms originating from massive boson exchange can lead
  to significant corrections to the cross sections of the observable proces
 ses. These effects are important for the high precision objectives of the 
 Next Linear Collider. We use the infra-red evolution equation\, based on a
  gauge invariant dispersive method\, to obtain \ndouble logarithmic asympt
 otics of scattering amplitudes and discuss how it can be applied\, in the 
 case of broken gauge symmetry\, to the Standard Model of electroweak proce
 sses. We discuss the double logarithmic effects to both non-radiative proc
 esses and to processes accompanied by soft gauge boson emission. In all ca
 ses the Sudakov double logarithms are found to exponentiate.\n\nhttp://ind

 invariant way. The coefficients of the 'skeleton expansion' are identified
  as conformal coefficients\, defined in the presence \nof a perturbative i

 sing most of the gap between the NLO QCD result and experiment. We extract

DESCRIPTION:In recent years the increasing experimental precision of the W
 -pair production cross section at LEP2 required more and more precise pred
 ictions. For instance\, the total WW cross section has reached per-cent pr
 ecision and has thus become sensitive to non-universal electroweak radiati
 ve corrections. Since the calculation of such corrections and their inclus
 ion into predictions are highly non-trivial\, only leading universal corre
 ctions have been included in event generators in the past. RACOONWW is the
  first Monte Carlo generator for e+e- -> WW -> 4f that includes the electr
 oweak O(a) corrections in the so-called double-pole approximation complete
 ly. The concept of the underlying calculation is explained\, and a survey 
 of phenomenological results is presented. Particular attention is paid to 
 the photon-radiation processes e+e- -> 4f + g\, which are an important ing
 redient in the corrections\, but also represent an interesting class of pr
 ocesses in their own right.\n\nhttp://indico.cern.ch/conferenceDisplay.py?

 the observed family-structure\, \n(ii) the meeting of the gauge couplings\

 symmetry. A concrete proposal is presented within a supersymmetric SO(10)/
 G(224)- framework\, that successfully describes the masses and mixings of 
 all fermions including neutrinos- with eight predictions\, all in agreemen

 round field method (BFM)\, the algebraic renormalization procedure is defi

 it is applied to the Standard Model. The use of BFM allows a powerful orga
 nisation of counterterms that avoids complicated Slavnov-Taylor identities
 . Furthermore\, the BRST variation of background fields plays a special ro

DESCRIPTION:Whereas the static limit of the Dirac equation for hydrogen ha
 s the proton mass in the denominator of its hyperfine operator\, the two-f
 ermion Dirac equation for leptonium (muonium and positronium) has the tota
 l cms energy there. The equation may be generalized to quarkonium\, where 
 charge conjugation invariance imposes strong restrictions on the \nconfini
 ng scalar and vector potentials. The resulting hyperfine splitting should 
 be quite asymmetric for lighter quarkonium.\n\nhttp://indico.cern.ch/confe

DESCRIPTION:We consider the region of small transverse momenta in qqbar an
 d gg initiated processes with no coloured particle detected in the final s
 tate. By using the recent knowledge on the infrared behaviour of tree-leve
 l and one-loop QCD amplitudes at order a2s we compute the universal expres
 sion of the large logarithmic corrections up to next-to-next-to-leading ac
 curacy. From there we extract the coefficients that allow the resummation 
 of the large logarithmic contributions. We find that the coefficient known
  in the literature as B(2) is process dependent\, since it receives a hard
  contamination from the one-loop correction to the leading-order subproces
 s. We propose a modified form of the resummation formula where the process
  dependence is embodied in a single perturbative factor.\n\nhttp://indico.

  {Wn(a) } whose Borel transforms have the same analyticity domain as the B
 orel transform of the expanded (e.g.\, the Adler) function. At small value
 s of the coupling parameter a\, the n-th order function W n (a) turns out 
 to behave like an\, thereby retaining a fundamental feature of a perturbat
 ive expansion. For higher values of a\, however\, the functions Wn (a) sho
 w up different properties: they are bounded\, sign-changing and vanishing 
 with a tending to infinity. Being chosen so as to make full use of the non
 -perturbative information deposited in analyticity\, they have also remark
 able convergence properties.\n\nhttp://indico.cern.ch/conferenceDisplay.py

UID:indico-event-a033640@cern.ch
DESCRIPTION:The connection between ghost-free formulations of RG-invariant
  perturbation theory in both the Euclidean and Minkowskian regions is inve
 stigated. Our basic tool is the 'double spectral representation'\, similar
  to the definition of the Adler function\, that stems from first principle
 s of local QFT. It relates real functions defined in the Euclidean and Min
 kowskian regions. On this base we establish a simple relation between the 
 trick of resummation of the p2-terms(known from the early 80's) for the in
 variant QCD coupling and observables in the time-like region and the Invar
 iant Analytic Approach (devised a few years ago) with 'analyticized' coupl
 ing aan (Q2) and non-power perturbative expansion for observables in the s
 pace-like domain\, which are free of unphysical singularities. As a result
 \, we formulate a self-consistent scheme - Analytic Perturbation Theory (A
 PT) - that relates a renorm-invariant\, effective coupling functions aan(Q
 2) and tilde{alpha}(s)as well as non-power perturbation expansions for obs
 ervables in both space- and time-like domains\, that are free of extra sin
 gularities and obey better convergence in the infra-red region. Then we co
 nsider the issue of the heavy quark thresholds and devise a global APT sch
 eme for the data analysis in the whole accessible space-like and time-like
  domain with various numbers\nof active quarks. Preliminary estimates indi
 cate that this global scheme produces results a bit different\, sometimes 
 even in the five-flavour region\, on a few per cent level for bar{alpha}s 
 from the usual one\, thus influencing the total picture of the QCD paramet
 er correlation.\n\nhttp://indico.cern.ch/conferenceDisplay.py?confId=a0336

DESCRIPTION:We study non-perturbative corrections to the transverse moment
 um distribution of vector bosons in the Drell-Yan process. Factorizing out
  the Sudakov effects due to soft gluons\, we express their contribution to
  the distribution in the form of the vacuum-averaged Wilson loop operator.
  We calculate the non-perturbative contribution to the Sudakov form factor
  using the expansion of the Wilson loop over vacuum fields supplemented wi
 th the expression for the non-local gauge invariant field strength correla
 tor. Although the Wilson loop is defined in an essentially Minkowski kinem
 atics\, the part of the non-perturbative contribution depending on the inv
 ariant mass of the produced vector bosons is governed by asymptotics of th
 e correlator at large space-like (Euclidean) separations\, and therefore c
 an be calculated using conventional non-perturbative methods. Applying the
  results of lattice calculations we found that the obtained expression for
  the non-perturbative power corrections is in qualitative agreement with k
 nown phenomenological expressions at large transverse momenta and deviates
  from them at small transverse momenta.\n\nhttp://indico.cern.ch/conferenc

 ing new theoretical information\, which comes from calculations of the NNL
 O perturbative corrections to anomalous dimensions of xF3 odd Mellin momen
 ts and of the N3LO corrections to the related coefficient functions. The i
 mproved fits were done with the help of the Jacobi polynomial method with 
 and without twist-4 power-suppressed terms\, fixed by application of the I
 nfared Renormalon (IRR) model. Among the results to be presented are the v
 alues of the free parameter of the considered IRR model and the values of 
 as(MZ)\, obtained at the NLO\, NNLO and estimated at the N3LO. The effects
  of interplay of higher-order perturbative QCD corrections to the Mellin m
 oments with O(1/Q2) terms is discussed. The results are compared to the de
 finite NLO and NNLO ones\, obtained recently by van Neerven\, Vogt (hep-ph
 /0103123) using their NNLO model of DGLAP kernel\, and by Santiago\, Yndur
 ain (hep-ph/0102247) with the help of Bernstein polynomial technique. Theo
 retical questions of applicability of the renormalon-inspired large-b0 app

  of odd moments for xF3 and even non-singlet moments for F2 are also consi
 dered. The estimates are compared to the ones obtained by means of the Pad

 rbative theory approximations by getting new explicit information for the 
 quantities related to even moments of xF3\, is discussed.\n\nhttp://indico

 equire a fine tuning corresponding to a vanishing effective cosmological c

  a dimensional reduction and study the effective theory in the case of one
 - and two-brane configurations. We show that the radion field can have a p
 ositive mass squared\, which corresponds to a stabilization of the extra d
 imension\, only for a repulsive nature of the Casimir force. This type of 
 solution requires the presence of a negative tension brane. The solutions 
 with one or two positive tension branes arising in this theory turn out to
  have negative radion mass squared\, and therefore are not stable.\n\nhttp

DESCRIPTION:TeV scale electroweak radiative corrections have a number of s
 urprising features when compared to the relatively close 100 GeV scale whi
 ch has been so far explored: for instance\, weak corrections to the inclus
 ive process e+e- -> hadrons are bigger than the strong ones. This is basic
 ally due to two facts. One is the substantial growth of corrections with e
 nergy\, related to the infrared divergences that are present in the limit 
 of vanishing weak scale\, and are cutoff by the weak scale itself. The oth
 er is a noncancellation between virtual corrections and real emission\, wh
 ich has been shown to be peculiar of broken gauge theories\, that violate 
 the Bloch-Nordsieck theorem. Although some basic facts about the infrared 
 structure of electroweak interactions are established by now\, many proble

 consequences are still hard to predict.\n\nhttp://indico.cern.ch/conferenc

DESCRIPTION:Soft and collinear gluon radiation is important for many appli
 cations in QCD. Classical examples are the two-jet region in e+e- and the 
 large-x limit in deep-inelastic scattering. In such cases\, the perturbati
 ve expansion breaks down due to large Sudakov logs\, which must be resumme
 d. The standard power-correction expansion breaks down as well. We suggest
  a new method which copes with both the perturbative and the non-perturbat
 ive aspects. Dressed Gluon Exponentiation (DGE) combines renormalon resumm
 ation with the exponentiation property in the Sudakov region. As opposed t
 o the standard fixed logarithmic accuracy resummation\, the DGE exponent i
 s renormalization scale invariant. It is shown that sub-leading logs\, whi
 ch are usually neglected\, are factorially enhanced and must be resummed p
 rior to any non-perturbative correction. We use the thrust distribution is
  e+e- annihilation as an example\, showing that comparison with experiment
 al data can be achieved without any hadronization model well inside the tw
 o-jet region.\n\nhttp://indico.cern.ch/conferenceDisplay.py?confId=a033647

 Yukawa sector. As a consequence R-parity is preserved at low energies\, an

 0). The model gives rise to good predictions for quark and lepton masses a
 nd mixings. The prediction for sin2(beta) agrees with the current bounds f
 rom the current average value from BaBar and Belle. In the neutrino sector
 \, our predictions are in good \nagreement with results from atmospheric n
 eutrino experiments. Our model favours the LOW solution to the solar neutr
 ino anomaly\; the matrix element for neutrinoless double beta decay is hig
 hly suppressed. The leptonic analogue of the Jarlskog invariant is predict

 channels of double Higgs-strahlung\, associated multiple Higgs production 
 and WW/ZZ fusion as well as gluon-gluon fusion to Higgs pairs has been ana

 the discrepancy between the experimental value announced by the Muon g-2 C

DESCRIPTION:The physics programme of the general purpose LHC experiments f
 ocuses on the searches for the New Physics with distinctive signatures ind
 icating production of the Higgs boson\, SUSY particles etc. Recent measure
 ments at LEP favour a light Higgs boson\, which suggests an emphasis on th
 e channels characterised by the presence of the heavy flavour jets and/or 
 multiple isolated leptons. The expected environment will in most cases be 
 very difficult\, with the signal to background ratio on the level of a few
  percent. The AcerMC Monte Carlo generator gives a possibility to generate
  some of the Standard Model background processes which were recognised as 
 very dangerous for the searches at LHC\, and generation of which was eithe
 r unavailable or not straightforward so far. The program itself provides a
  library of the massive matrix elements (coded by MADGRAPH) and native pha
 se space modules for generation of a set of selected processes. The hard p
 rocess event can be completed by the initial and final state radiation\, h
 adronisation and decays through the existing interface with either PYTHIA 
 6.2 or HERWIG 6.3 event generators. A distinctive feature of AcerMC is the
  efficient phase space sampling\, achieved by a combination of multi-chann
 el self-optimising approach and a modified ac-VEGAS routine. The achieved 
 typical efficiency for generation of unweighted events is on the \norder o
 f 20%-30%\, which is considered to be an achievement\, given the complicat
 ed topology of the implemented processes. The structure of the program and
  some interesting phenomenological results will be presented.\n\nhttp://in

DESCRIPTION:Ultra-peripheral collisions at relativistic ion colliders\, su
 ch as RHIC and the LHC\, can provide an important new laboratory for testi
 ng fundamental aspects of QCD\, especially coherent and diffractive phenom
 ena. Ultra-peripheral collisions occur at large impact separations so that
  the colliding nuclei can remain intact after the collision. The reactions
  are driven by virtual photon and pomeron exchange. The coherent effective
  photon beam emitted by the relativistic nuclei is enhanced by a factor of
  the nuclear charge squared\, so that the photon-photon collider luminosit
 y is large. The effective photon-photon and photon-pomeron colliders have 
 centre-of-mass energies up to 200 GeV for heavy ion collisions at the LHC.
  I will survey some of the interesting theoretical and phenomenological as
 pects of this field\, including Higgs production\, diffractive jet product
 ion\, the novel effects of colour transparency in hard pomeron interaction
 s\, charge and spin asymmetries\, gluon shadowing phenomena\, planar corre

  of thin layers of matter with density contrast on oscillations of Berylli
 um neutrinos inside the Earth are studied. We find that change of the 7Be 
 neutrino flux can reach 0.25% for layers with density of oil and size 10 -
  100 km. Problems of detection are discussed. A hypothetical method would 
 consist of measuring the 7Be - flux by\, e.g.\, a large deep underwater de
 tector - submarine which could change its location.\n\nhttp://indico.cern.

DESCRIPTION:In the two Higgs doublet model type III and in several other e
 xtensions of the Standard Model\, there are no discrete symmetries that su
 ppress flavour changing couplings at tree level. The experimental observat
 ion of the nm-nt flavour oscillation may suggest the non-conservation of l
 epton number. This would lead to the decay of the type H0 -> tm. We determ

 m the muon g-2 measurement and discuss the prospects for detecting lepton 
 flavour violating decays at the TeVatron and at the Large Hadron Collider.

DESCRIPTION:Power corrections to differential cross sections in the proxim
 ity of a kinematic threshold are analysed in the framework of Dressed Gluo
 n Exponentiation. Exploiting the factorization property of soft and collin
 ear radiation\, a large class of radiative corrections which dominate the 
 perturbative expansion in this region is resummed\, yielding a renormaliza
 tion-scale invariant expression for the Sudakov exponent. It is conjecture
 d that factorization applies beyond the perturbative level. Thus informati
 on on power corrections can be drawn from the resummed perturbative calcul
 ation. The interplay between Sudakov logs and renormalons is clarified\, a
 nd the necessity to resum the latter whenever power corrections are non-ne
 gligible is emphasized. Two examples are discussed. The first is event-sha
 pe distributions in the two-jet region\, where there is no operator produc
 t expansion (OPE)\, and the second is deep inelastic (DIS) structure funct
 ions\, where the OPE applies\, but breaks down dramatically at large Bjork
 en x. In the DIS case\, a detailed analysis of twist four is reported on\,
  where it is \nshown precisely how the twist-two renormalon ambiguity even
 tually cancels out. This analysis provides a physical picture which substa
 ntiates the non-perturbative factorization conjecture.\n\nhttp://indico.ce

DESCRIPTION:We summarize the key results of a recent global analysis of in
 clusive single-charged-hadron production in high-energy colliding-beam exp
 eriments. In the framework of the parton model of quantum chromodynamics a
 t next-to-leading order (NLO)\, fragmentation functions (FFs) for charged 
 pions\, charged kaons\, and (anti) protons are extracted from experimental
  data of e+e- annihilation at the Z-boson resonance and at centre-of-mass 
 energy \\sqrt{s} = 29 GeV. This fit also yields a new NLO value for the st
 rong-coupling constant\, namely as5 (MZ) = 0.1170 ± 0.0073. The scaling v
 iolations encoded in the FFs through the Altarelli-Parisi evolution equati
 ons are tested by confronting e+e- annihilation data from DESY DORIS\, DES
 Y PETRA\, and CERN LEP2 with NLO predictions based on these FFs. Compariso
 ns of pp-bar data from CERN S p p-bar S and the Fermilab Tevatron\, gp dat
 a from DESY HERA\, and gg data from LEP2 with the corresponding NLO predic
 tions allow us to test the universality of the FFs predicted by the factor

DESCRIPTION:At high energies\, fast quarks and gluons propagate through me
 dia along the straight-line classical trajectories. The amplitude of this 
 process is given by the Wilson-line operator - phase factor acquired by th
 e particle after propagation along the straight line. The small-x behaviou
 r of structure functions of deep inelastic scattering is governed by the e
 volution of the Wilson-line operators with respect to the slope of the lin
 e. While in the pQCD regime the small-x evolution of Wilson lines is descr
 ibed by the linear BFKL equation\, in the high-density regime this evoluti
 on turns out to be non-linear. The non-linear evolution equation for Wilso
 n-line operators determines the small-x behaviour of the eA structure func
 tions in the saturation region. The solution of this equation is given by 
 the 2+1 effective field theory formulated in terms of Wilson-line degrees 
 of freedom.\n\nhttp://indico.cern.ch/conferenceDisplay.py?confId=a033686

DESCRIPTION:For quite a long time experiments have generally reported an a

 up to a factor of four with respect to theoretical predictions are found a
 nd have even fuelled 'beyond the Standard Model' interpretations. We criti
 cally reexamine the ingredients that enter both the theoretical prediction
 s and the experimental determinations. The issue of making proper use of a
 vailable information about fragmentation effects in QCD turns out to be a 
 crucial one. We argue that some of the most striking discrepancies can be 
 strongly reduced\, down to an acceptable level\, by a theoretically carefu
 l implementation of perturbative resummation and non-perturbative fragment

 will show the effect of the radiative corrections on the mass spectrum and
  decay properties of the Kaluza-Klein (KK) particles and will discuss the 
 discovery reach at the Tevatron and the LHC. In minimal UED models the col

 persymmetry with a stable neutralino LSP\, presenting a challenge for thei
 r interpretation. \nIn the second half of the talk I will discuss KK dark 
 matter. If the standard model particles propagate in extra dimensions and 
 Kaluza-Klein parity is conserved\, the lightest KK particle (LKP) is an ex
 cellent dark matter candidate. I will discuss the prospects for direct and
  indirect detection of KK dark matter\, again drawing several comparisons 
 to the familiar case of SUSY dark matter. The talk is based on hep-ph/0204

 deep-inelastic scattering clarifies the origin of similarity of the pertur

DESCRIPTION:The search for the origin of electroweak symmetry breaking at 
 the LHC is fundamentally linked to the question about new physics. Therefo
 re the search for a light Higgs boson\, as preferred by precision data\, w
 ill certainly be the first (but not the final) experimental challenge. For
  example\, in the case of supersymmetry\, one not only has to measure the 
 mass and couplings of the light Higgs boson\; to establish a two Higgs dou
 blet model\, it is necessary to find the heavier Higgs states. The LHC is 
 very well suited for this task. I will give a brief overview of recent dev
 elopments in Higgs physics at the LHC\, with an emphasis on Higgs sectors 
 beyond the Standard Model. Then I will present in detail the theoretical b
 asis and the SUSY-QCD corrections to the charged Higgs boson production in
  association with a top quark.Note: In the case of unavailability of the T
 H Conference Room\, this talk will take place in Room 40-S2-B01.\n\nhttp:/

  we need high confidence that the Standard Model predictions lie significa

 t phase-space effects may be the dominant source of SU(3) breaking. In par

  may satisfy ΔΓ / 2Γ ~ 1% and ΔΓ >> Δm\, in which case the sensitivi

 certainty on relevant sparticle observables for both LHC and LC\, and show
  that the value of the error is significantly dependent upon the supersymm

 he well-known phenomenological success of conventional two-loop evolution 
 at small x is now understood to be a consequence of the BFKL resummation o
 f the Altarelli-Parisi equation. This surprising result follows from the r
 ealization that the Altarelli-Parisi and BFKL equations are fully compatib
 le\, and can be used to resum each other. The main physical ingredients of
  the resummation are momentum conservation and the running of the coupling
 . I show that\, when incorporated in the standard leading order BFKL forma
 lism\, they unambiguously lead to predictions which at small x are very cl
 ose to the usual one-loop unresummed results\, and stable towards the incl
 usion of higher-order corrections.\n\nhttp://indico.cern.ch/conferenceDisp

DESCRIPTION:In this talk\, I will show what the LHC can do for the study o
 f supersymmetry. The SUSY signal is complicated because of the LSP's escap
 e from detections\, therefore event kinematics cannot be determined for mo
 st cases. Recently\, it was realized that a sparticle cascade decay chain 
 can be reconstructed completely if the decay chain contains sufficient ste
 ps. We describe a new technique\, called the "mass relation method" -- the
  applications of this method will be described in the talk. The new techni
 que might open up an opportunity to study new channels\, and in addition t
 o that\, a possibility to study decay distributions at the LHC. The relati
 on to the LC physics will also be discussed.\n\nhttp://indico.cern.ch/conf

 of tau leptons. The physical constraints necessary to be fulfilled by diff

 prove TAUOLA with the form factors of Belle and BaBar simulations\, which 
 will become available only in the future\, will also be discussed in the c
 ontext of multitude of applications with generators such as PYTHIA\, HERWI
 G\, and one based on fixed-order matrix elements. Tools such as MC-TESTER 
 necessary to keep track of the physics content of the package will also be
  discussed. Recent updates of the PHOTOS package for radiative corrections
  in decays will be also discussed in the context of applications such as W
  mass measurement at the Tevatron and LHC. Some examples relevant for futu

  PEP\, PETRA\, TRISTAN and LEP data allows the 95% CL exclusion of a light

DESCRIPTION:One of the most important problems of particle physics is to u
 ncover the origin of the electroweak symmetry breaking. We know from direc
 t searches at LEP2 and electroweak precision data that a Higgs boson shoul
 d lie in a mass region which will certainly be explored at either the Ferm
 ilab Tevatron collider or at the CERN LHC. Among the subleading Higgs prod
 uction modes\, the associated production with top quark pairs can play a c
 rucial role\, in particular in a direct measurement of the top Yukawa coup
 ling. The production rate of a SM Higgs boson in association with bottom q
 uarks is very small at both the Tevatron and the LHC. In a two-Higgs doubl
 et model or in the MSSM\, however\, the bottom Yukawa coupling can be sign
 ificantly enhanced over the Standard Model coupling\, leading to an observ
 able production rate in some regions of the parameter space. I will review
  the status of the predictions for hadronic Higgs production with top and 
 bottom quarks and present some details of the calculation of NLO QCD corre
 ctions to the underlying production processes. I will present results for 
 the total and differential cross sections to pp(p\\bar p) -> t \\bar th\,

DESCRIPTION:The recent PIBETA results confirm at 9σ level the deficit of 
 events in the radiative pion decay in the same kinematic region already ob
 served at the ISTRA facility. In order to explain this anomaly\, an introd
 uction of new centi-weak tensor interactions is necessary. Such interactio
 ns inevitably affect other electroweak processes. Although in most of them
  they lead to negligible contributions due to their different chiral struc
 ture from V-A interactions\, in some particular cases their effect can be 
 noticeable. An example of such effects is the excess in pion production in
  τ-decay which explains the discrepancy with CVC prediction. The high-pre
 cision ongoing experiments at PSI and TRIUMF are also capable of detecting
  the effects of the new tensor interactions in the pure lepton decays of t
 he polarized muons at a level of 3σ and 8σ\, correspondingly.\n\nhttp://

DESCRIPTION:Based on the analysis of the information on the structure of t
 he gluon field of the nucleon obtained at HERA\, we demonstrate that at LH
 C new particle production and hard dijet production at central rapidities 
 are dominated by pp scattering at small impact parameters. We argue that u
 nder these conditions the strength of gluon interactions for a wide range 
 of virtualities approaches the unitarity ('black-body') limit. This leads 
 to specific modifications of the final state\, such as a higher probabilit
 y of multijet events at small rapidities\, a strong increase of the transv
 erse momenta and depletion of the longitudinal momenta at large rapidities
 \, and the appearance of long-range correlations in rapidity between the f
 orward/backward fragmentation regions. Studies of the regime of strong glu
 on fields would be feasible with the CMS-TOTEM detector setup using dijets
  as a trigger. These studies will help to understand the underlying struct
 ure of the events relevant for the new particle searches at LHC. A similar
  pattern is expected for generic central proton-nucleus collisions at the 
 LHC and beyond with the most dramatic changes in the forward region import
 ant for interpretation of the cosmic ray interactions near the GZK cut-off

DESCRIPTION:It is well known that natural models of hierarchical neutrino 
 masses and bi-large neutrino mixing can originate from the type I see-saw 
 mechanism\, using sequential dominance of right-handed neutrinos. However 
 within this framework it is rather difficult to arrange for a partially de
 generate neutrino. In this talk I show how such type I see-saw models can 
 be naturally up-graded to type II see-saw models\, allowing partially dege
 nerate neutrino masses with a possible signal observable in the next gener
 ation of neutrinoless double beta decay experiments. I also show that in s
 uch type II models the leptogenesis asymmetry parameter becomes proportion
 al to the neutrino mass scale\, in sharp contrast to the type I case\, whi
 ch leads to an upper bound on the neutrino mass scale\, allowing lighter r
 ight-handed neutrinos and hence making leptogenesis more consistent with t

DESCRIPTION:Top quark physics will play an important role at the LHC. The 
 interest in top quark physics is twofold: on the one hand\, it is an inter
 esting signal process allowing detailed tests of the Standard Model. On th
 e other hand\, it might also appear as an important background process for
  Higgs searches. In the talk\, I review some aspects of top quark physics 
 at the LHC. In particular\, the NLO calculation of t \\bar{t} + 1-Jet+X pr
 oduction is discussed.\n\nhttp://indico.cern.ch/conferenceDisplay.py?confI

 . Some recent work is presented in more detail: the combination of the NNL
 O QCD and NLO electroweak corrections to SM Higgs-strahlung at hadron coll
 iders\, MSSM neutral Higgs production together with a high-pT hadronic jet
 \, and a charged Higgs production process which may help to discrimi-nate

DESCRIPTION:The overwhelming importance of the penguin graph in B-physics 
 will be stressed. The asymmetric B-factories have provided a very valuable
  confirmation of the CKM paradigm of CP violation in that CP asymmetry in 
 B0 -> ψ KS agrees with the predictions of the SM to an accuracy of O(15%)
 . Important as this result is\, it serves to emphasize the need for very c
 lean and precise tests of the SM. The usefulness of the penguins for extra
 cting the unitarity angles and precision search of beyond the SM phase(s) 
 will be discussed with emphasis on model-independent approaches. Relations
 hip to previous works on hadronic modes such as φ KS\, η' KS\, p0 KS  as
  well as to radiative modes such as K*γ and its generalizations will be p
 ointed out. The importance of FSI will be stressed. The roles of direct CP
  as well as that of mixing-in-duced CP in unravelling the nature of Beyond
  the SM Physics will be emphasized.\n\nhttp://indico.cern.ch/conferenceDis

DESCRIPTION:We review the development of the renormalizable SO(10) SUSY GU
 Ts based on the 210 ⊕ 126 ⊕ {overline {126}} Higgs system which are mi
 nimal by parameter counting. Using a $SO(10) -> GPati-Salam label decompos
 ition we calculate the complete GUT scale spectra and couplings. This is u
 sed to compute the threshold effects on the gauge renormalization. These c
 orrections to ΔαG\, Δsw2\, Δ log MX are sensitive functions of the sin
 gle parameter Δ that controls the cubic symmetry-breaking equation in thi
 s MSGUT and slow functions of the 4 other coupling parameters. Thus a scan
  of the solution space to restrict it to viable gauge regions is possible.
  We review the recent successful 10 ⊕ {overline {126}} Type I and Type I
 I fits of all fermion mass/mixing data and show how they specify the unita
 ry matrices that enter into the definition of the exotic (ΔB≠ 0) effect
 ive Lagrangian at the GUT scale. This puts semi-rigorous calculation of pr
 oton decay in this theory within reach. We show how these fits can be com-
 bined with our GUT spectra to further severely constrain the MSGUT and the
  mass/mixing fits referred to. Similar techniques can be applied to the ne
 xt-to-minimal MSGUT which in addition contains a 120-plet. Thus we have mo
 ved within reach of specifying the MSGUT fitted to low-energy data to a pr
 ecision that will make it falsifiable. The remnant regions of its paramete
 r space - if any - will then await further refinement by (non) observation
  of exotic processes.\n\nhttp://indico.cern.ch/conferenceDisplay.py?confId

DESCRIPTION:We propose to use rich information on the pp\, pbar p total cr
 oss-section σ below N = 10 GeV in order to predict the total cross-sectio
 n and ρ ratio at very high energies. Using the FESR as a constraint for h
 igh-energy parameters\, we search for the simultaneous best fit to the dat
 a points of σ and ρ ratio up to some energy (e.g.\, ISR\, Tevatron) to d
 etermine the high-energy parameters. We then predict σ and ρ in the LHC 
 and high-energy cosmic-ray regions. Using the data up to √s =1.8 TeV (Te
 vatron)\, we predict σ (pp) and ρ (pp) at the LHC energy (√s = 14 TeV)
  as 106.3 ± 5.1(syst) ± 2.4(stat) mb and 0.126 ± 0.007(syst) ± 0.004(s

 eters are in good agreement with the cosmic-ray experimental data sample u

DESCRIPTION:I present predictions and discuss possible experimental signat
 ures of a minimal realistic non-supersymmetric SU(5) grand unified theory.
  To accomplish unification and generate neutrino mass\, only one extra Hig
 gs representation - a 15 of SU(5) - is introduced besides the particle con
 tent of the minimal Georgi-Glashow scenario. As I will argue\, generic pre
 diction of this setup is a set of rather light scalar leptoquarks. In the 
 case of the most natural implementation of the type II see-saw mechanism\,
  their mass is in the phenomenologically interesting region (O(102 - 103) 
 GeV). As such\, the scenario has a potential to be tested at the next gene
 ration of collider experiments\, particularly at the Large Hadron Collider
  (LHC) at CERN. The presence of the 15 generates additional contributions 
 to proton decay which\, for light scalar leptoquarks\, can be more importa
 nt than the usual gauge d = 6 ones. I exhaustively study both and show tha
 t the scenario is not excluded but nicely constrained by current experimen
 tal bounds on nucleon lifetimes.\n\nhttp://indico.cern.ch/conferenceDispla

DESCRIPTION:The high energy limit of scattering processes in QCD is\, at l
 east on the purely theoretical level\, described by the BFKL equation. The
  BFKL dynamics can be used for the prediction of many multi-jet processes 
 relevant for 'background studies' at the LHC. At the same time\, the study
  of these events will probe our understanding of QCD (and field theory in 
 general) in a region less well understood than the super-perturbative regi
 on with one very hard scale.  However\, most phenomenological studies of 
 BFKL fail miserably when confronted with data. In this talk I will critica
 lly review the application of leading log (LL) BFKL in phenomenology\, and
  similarly critically examine the application of LL eigenfunctions in the 
 study of the NLL BFKL kernel. We then introduce a recently proposed iterat
 ive solution of the NLL BFKL equation and discuss the insights it gives to
  the evolution at high energies.\n\nhttp://indico.cern.ch/conferenceDispla

DESCRIPTION:The operator product expansion\, where applicable\, provides a
  model-independent description of the soft non-perturbative effects in sho
 rt-distance processes. The gluon radiation off the ultra-relativistic colo
 ured particles exhibits\, however\, a peculiarity absent from the Euclidea
 n processes: emission of a highly collinear gluon can be driven by the run
 ning strong coupling at arbitrarily low scale\, regardless of the gluon en
 ergy. Since the standard local OPE assumes limited wave vectors and freque
 ncies for the soft modes\, this may potentially bring in non-perturbative 
 effects not captured by the standard local OPE. Nevertheless\, it is shown
  that the principal non-perturbative OPE relations\, for instance\, in inc
 lusive heavy flavour decays\, are not modified by gluon bremsstrahlung. In
  particular\, the integer moments of the inclusive hadron mass square dist
 ributions are non-perturbatively affected only by the soft radiation\, whi
 le high-energy collinear gluons contribute only in the small-coupling regi
 me.\n\nhttp://indico.cern.ch/conferenceDisplay.py?confId=a057141

UID:indico-event-a06677@cern.ch
DESCRIPTION:The standard theoretical instrument for studying the polarized
  DIS is DGLAP. When applied to calculating the spin structure function g1\
 , it accounts for logarithms of Q2 to all orders in αs but lacks the tota
 l resummation of ln x. Such a resummation provides g1 with a steep rise at
  small x and leads to the conclusion that DGLAP should not have worked at 
 x  0. These factors mimic the impact of the total resummation of ln x and 
 also ensure the power-like rise of g1 at small x. The total resummation of
  ln x allows us to drop these factors and leads to remarkable simplificati
 ons of the fits.\n			On the other hand\, DGLAP expressions for anomalous d
 imensions and coefficient functions include terms absent in our formulae. 
 These terms are not so important at small x but quite essential when x is 
 large. Combining DGLAP with our approach leads to the description of the p
 olarized DIS equally good at large and small x without using singular term
 s in the fits.\n\nhttp://indico.cern.ch/conferenceDisplay.py?confId=a06677

DESCRIPTION:Successful leptogenesis within the simplest type I supersymmet

 an overproduction of gravitinos with catastrophic consequences for the evo

 gh a λi \\hat{N}i \\hat{H}u \\hat{H}d term in the superpotential\, where 
 \\hat{N}i are right-handed neutrino supermultiplets. We show that in the p
 resence of this term\, the produced lepton-antilepton asymmetry can be enh
 anced. As a result\, even for \\hat{N}1 masses as low as 106 GeV or less\,
  we can obtain the observed baryon asymmetry of the universe without gravi

DESCRIPTION:How electroweak symmetry is broken is one of the pressing ques
 tions in particle physics that should find an answer in the next few years
 . It has recently driven many developments in model building. A radical al
 ternative to the usual Higgs mechanism is to achieve electroweak symmetry 
 breaking without any scalar boson. This idea can be realized in extra dime
 nsions\, where the standard model gauge symmetry is broken by boundary con
 ditions. Such a proposal has to pass theoretical prejudices (unitarization
  of longitudinal W's scattering amplitude) as well as phenomenological obs
 tacles (electroweak precision measurements which favour a priori the exist
 ence of a light Higgs\, tension between a heavy top quark and small deviat
 ions in the Zbb coupling). At the LHC\, this Higgsless mechanism leads to 
 signatures very different from the standard model or supersymmetry and it 
 predicts the existence below one TeV of spin-one excitations with the quan
 tum numbers of the W and the Z.\n\nhttp://indico.cern.ch/conferenceDisplay

DESCRIPTION:The WMAP measurement of the cold dark matter abundance in the

 rsality in generations (motivated by reconciling b -> s γ   with (g-2) μ
 )\, and in the Higgs sector (as motivated by SUSY GUTs). Each case leads t
 o new collider possibilities for SUSY. In the gaugino sector\, WMAP points
  to the possibility of mixed wino dark matter (MWDM)\, bino-wino co-annihi
 lation (BWCA) dark matter\, and mixed higgsino dark matter (MHDM). Many of
  these possibilities are realized in the soft terms generated from mixed m

DESCRIPTION:Recent developments in QCD phenomenology have spurred on sever
 al improved approaches to the precise calculation of collider observables\
 , relative to the post-LEP state of the art. In this seminar\, the emphasi
 s is placed\, first\, on a new approach to matrix-element / parton-shower 
 matching\, relying on QCD antennae\, implemented in a new C++ generator\, 
 VINCIA. An explicit illustration of the importance of a correct treatment 
 of QCD radiation is then given\, focusing on SUSY and top production at th
 e LHC. Finally\, some interesting questions on possible non-perturbative e
 ffects in hadron-hadron collisions will be touched on\, and a few first re
 sults presented.\n\nhttp://indico.cern.ch/conferenceDisplay.py?confId=a063

 on-universal scalar and non-universal gaugino masses. It was found that th

 . Different scenarios of non-universality can be distinguished by a combin

DESCRIPTION:We study a six-dimensional supersymmetric SO(10) orbifold GUT 
 model. Three sequential quark-lepton families are localized at the three o
 rbifold fixed points\, where SO(10) is broken to its three GUT subgroups. 
 The physical quarks and leptons are mixtures of these brane states and add
 itional bulk zero modes with characteristic mass textures. This leads to a
  distinctive pattern of branching ratios in proton  decay\, in particular 
 the suppression of the p → mu+ K0 mode. We also discuss CP violation in 
 the quark and lepton sector and study possible relations between the obser
 vable phases in the two sectors.\n\nhttp://indico.cern.ch/conferenceDispla

DESCRIPTION:The neutrino sector seems to have a very different flavour str
 ucture from the (small and hierarchical) flavour parameters of the charged
  fermions. Why is that? In this talk we offer a possible explanation by co
 nsidering a large class of models where the SU(5) gauge symmetry and a Fro
 ggatt-Nielsen (FN) Abelian flavour symmetry arise from a quiver gauge theo
 ry. An intriguing feature of these models is a relation between the gauge 
 representation and the horizontal charge\, leading to a restricted set of 
 possible FN charges. Requiring that quark masses are hierarchical\, the le
 pton flavour structure is uniquely determined. In particular\, neutrino ma
 ss anarchy is predicted.\n\nhttp://indico.cern.ch/conferenceDisplay.py?con

DESCRIPTION:The Constrained MSSM (also known as the minimal supergravity m
 odel) is arguably the most popular realization of effective low-energy sup
 ersymmetry in the context of grand unification. Using a Markov Chain Monte
  Carlo scanning procedure it is possible to perform a thorough exploration
  of the model taking properly into account constraints from collider and c
 osmological data\, and to derive some robust predictions. Using the formal
 ism of Bayesian statistics we find that the light Higgs boson is very simi
 lar to the Standard Model Higgs boson\, and that the 68% posterior probabi
 lity region for its mass lies between 116.0 GeV and 120.4 GeV. At 95% it i
 ncreases to some 122 GeV. We show that 95% CL exclusion limit on the above
  mass range can be set at the Tevatron with 2/fb of integrated luminosity 
 which is already available to both the CDF and DZero experiments. Prospect
 s for the Higgs discovery at the Tevatron will also be discussed.\n\nhttp:

DESCRIPTION:In this talk we discuss the structure of infrared singularitie

  formula gives rise to an all-order exponentiation of both the soft poles 
 in dimensional regularization and the large collinear logarithms of the pa
 rton masses. Moreover\, it provides a universal relation between any on-sh
 ell amplitude with massive external partons and its corresponding massless
  amplitude. For general scattering processes we show how our constructive 
 method applies to the computation of all singularities as well as the cons
 tant (mass-independent) terms of a generic massive n-parton QCD amplitude 
 up to the next-to-next-to-leading order corrections.\n\nhttp://indico.cern

 hat it covers full phase-space for arbitrary number of photons and in any 
 decay. For final states of only one charged particle the phase space param
 etrization is exact. In other cases\, requiring more complex presampler fo
 r collinear singularities\, well localized and easy to revert approximatio
 ns are introduced in phase space Jacobians. Thanks to clear separation int

DESCRIPTION:I argue that the high-energy limit of QCD is controlled by hig
 h-energy density gluonic matter characterized by high occupation number pe
 r state. This is the Colour Glass Condensate\, and can be thought of as an
  ensemble of strong transverse classical and electromagnetic fields. Almos
 t instantaneously after a collision\, these fields change to purely longit
 udinal electric and magnetic fields which are independent of rapidity. Thi
 s Glasma carries topological charge\, and generates chiral symmetry breaki
 ng. The fields are unstable under small rapidity-dependent fluctuations ge
 nerated by the field theoretical wave function at the initial singularity 
 associated with the collision. Eventually these fields decay into gluons\,
  and perhaps thermalize into a Quark Gluon Plasma. I show the corresponden
 ce of the 'Little Bang' of hadronic collisions with Big Bang cosmology. I 
 also present some speculations that the distribution of Colour Glass Conde
 nsate density fluctuations may be generated by two-dimensional gravity.\n\

 ecaying into a b-b(bar) pair\, plus a central photon in vector-boson fusio

 Big Bang\,\nthus comprising dark matter (DM) in the Universe\, its relic a
 bundance can be used\nto severely constrain the parameter space of supersy
 mmetric models.\nFor instance\, in the paradigm mSUGRA model\, each DM all
 owed region gives\nrise to distinct signatures for new physics at the LHC.
 \nWe explore an array of well-motivated scenarios with non-universal soft 
 terms--\nnormal scalar mass hierarchy\, non-universal Higgs models\,\nmixe
 d wino DM\, bino-wino co-annihilation (BWCA) DM\, low M_3 (compressed) SUS
 Y\, mixed higgsino DM\, \nmixed moduli-AMSB DM-- and show that each of the
 se gives rise to distinct\ncharacteristics that ought to be measureable by
  the Atlas and CMS experiments starting next year at the LHC.\n\nhttp://in

DESCRIPTION:In this talk\, I will present a SU(5) unified model combined w
 ith a family symmetry based on the double covering tetrahedral group\, T'.
  Our model successfully gives rise to tri-bimaximal neutrino mixing as wel
 l as realistic CKM matrix elements for the quarks. The Georgi-Jarlskog rel
 ations for three generations are also obtained. Due to the T' transformati
 on property of the matter fields\, the b-quark mass can be generated only 
 when the T' symmetry is broken\, giving a dynamical origin for the hierarc
 hy between mb and mt.  There are only nine operators allowed in the Yukawa
  sector up to at least mass dimension seven due to an additional Z12 x Z12
  symmetry\, which also forbids\, up to some high orders\, operators that l
 ead to proton decay. The resulting model has a total of nine parameters in
  the charged fermion and neutrino sectors\, and hence is very predictive. 
 In addition to the prediction for theta13 ~ 0.05\, the model gives rise to
  a new quark-lepton complimentarity relation between the solar and Cabibbo
  angles\,  which is a consequence of the Georgi-Jarlskog relations in the 
 quark sector. This deviation could account for the  difference between the
  experimental best fit value for the solar mixing angle and the value pred
 icted by the tri-bimaximal mixing matrix.\n\nhttp://indico.cern.ch/confere

DESCRIPTION:The mass spectra of the ground state and excited heavy baryons
  consisting\nof two light (u\,d\,s) and one heavy (c\,b) quarks are calcul
 ated in the\nheavy-quark--light-diquark approximation within the constitue
 nt quark\nmodel. The light quarks\, forming the diquark\, and the light di
 quark in\nthe baryon are treated completely relativistically. The expansio
 n in v/c\nup to the second order is used only for the heavy (b and c) quar
 ks. The\ninternal structure of the diquark is taken into account by insert
 ing the\ndiquark-gluon interaction form factor. The obtained diquark and b
 aryon\nwave functions are used for the calculation of the semileptonic dec
 ays\nof these heavy baryons. The weak transition matrix elements are expre
 ssed\nthrough the overlap integrals of the baryon wave functions. The Isgu
 r-Wise\nfunctions are determined in the whole accessible kinematic range. 
 The\nexclusive semileptonic decay rates and different asymmetries are\ncal
 culated with applying the heavy quark 1/m_Q expansion.  An overall good\na
 greement of the obtained predictions with available experimental data is\n
 found.\n\nhttp://indico.cern.ch/conferenceDisplay.py?confId=17445

DESCRIPTION:The subject of this talk is the resummation of the QCD perturb
 ative expansion\nin the regime of soft gluon emission\, often referred to 
 as Sudakov resummation.\nAfter an introduction on the phenomenological rel
 evance of this subject\, and\na brief recollection of known results\, I wi
 ll illustrate some problems\nin the computation of physical observables fr
 om resummed expressions.\nI will review some of the techniques usually ado
 pted\, and describe\na recently proposed one\, based on the idea of Borel 
 summation of divergent\nseries\n\nhttp://indico.cern.ch/conferenceDisplay.

DESCRIPTION:We study the possibility of determining the neutrino mass hier
 archy\nfor vanishing or very small $\\theta_{13}$ using upward moving\natm
 ospheric neutrinos. For such values of $\\theta_{13}$\, long pathlengths\n
 through the earth\, and energies of a few GeV\, we show that\nthe muon neu
 trino survival probability\nis almost independent of the matter potential.
  It however\,\ncontains hierarchy sensitive terms  which can be exploited 
 in a large\natmospheric neutrino detector.\nAfter dicussing the physics as
 pects of the small or zero mixing angle\nsitiuation\, to demonstrate the f
 easibility of this method\, we present results of\nrealistic studies of th
 e sensitivity in\nthree different proposed large-mass future detectors of 
 atmospheric neutrinos --\na 100 kT Iron Calorimeter detector\,\na megaton 
 Water Cerenkov detector and a 100 kT Liquid Argon detector.\nIn cognizance
  of the fact that it is imperative to have good ( i.e  about 2%)\nprecisio
 n in $|\\Delta_{31}|$ to obtain a statistically significant hierarchy sens
 itivity\nusing this method\, we note that such precision is possible with\
 nproposed contemporaneous wide-band beams.\n\nhttp://indico.cern.ch/confer

DESCRIPTION:Twenty years have passed since the European Muon Collaboration
 \nannounced that almost none of the\nspin of the proton was carried by its
  quarks --\nthe famous "proton spin crisis".\nWe review the original work 
 and initial theoretical ideas\nproposed to explain this finding before\ntu
 rning attention to the enormous progress\nthat has been made over the two 
 decades since that announcement.\nWe show that within the present\,\nmuch 
 reduced experimental errors the spin problem has\nbeen resolved. The expla
 nation is compared with\nboth lattice QCD and recent data involving deeply
 \nvirtual Compton scattering and found to\nbe consistent. The response to 
 this challenge\nhas taught us a great deal about the\nnon-perturbative str
 ucture of the nucleon.\n\nhttp://indico.cern.ch/conferenceDisplay.py?confI

DESCRIPTION:Recent experimental data at GSI on the time–modulation of th
 e rate of the number of daughter ions produced by the K–shell electron c
 apture (EC) decays of the hydrogen–like  ions are analysed within the st
 andard theory of weak interactions of massive neutrinos.  The necessary co
 nditions for the appearance of the time–dependent interference term in t
 he EC-decay rate of hydrogen–like heavy ions are formulated. The period 
 of the time–modulation is expressed in terms of the difference of square
 d neutrino masses and the mother ion mass. The numerical value for the dif
 ference of the squared neutrino masses\, extracted from the GSI data\, is 
 discussed in connection with the experimental data by KamLAND. The observe
 d disagreement is overcome by means of finite corrections to neutrino mass
 es\, caused by the interactions of massive neutrinos with the strong Coulo
 mb field of daughter ions. The values of neutrino masses are obtained. It 
 is shown that there are no time–modulation of the positron–decay rates
  of the hydrogen–like heavy ions.\n\nhttp://indico.cern.ch/conferenceDis

DESCRIPTION:We present a new formalism for description of neutrino oscilla
 tions in\nmatter with varying density which is both accurate and has all a
 dvantages\nof a full analytic treatment.\nThe formalism is based on the ge
 neralized Baker-Campbell-Hausdorff\n(Magnus) expansion.\nThe formulas can 
 be applied for propagation of the solar and supernova\nneutrinos in matter
  of the Earth\, substantially simplifying numerical\ncalculations.\nVariou
 s expansions are obtained depending on basis of neutrino states and\na way
  to split the Hamiltonian into the self-commuting and non-commuting\nparts
 . We apply the formalism to neutrino oscillations in matter of the\nEarth 
 and show that the second order of the expansion has better than 3%\naccura
 cy up to E \\sim 90 MeV for solar \\Delta m^2 and up to 2.5 GeV for\natmos
 pheric \\Delta m^2.\nUsing these formulas we study sensitivity of the osci
 llation effects to\nstructures of the density profile situated at differen
 t distances from the\ndetector.\n\nhttp://indico.cern.ch/conferenceDisplay

DESCRIPTION:We focus on high $p_T$ hadronically-decaying top quarks\,\ndue
  to high degree of collimation\nthe efficacy of conventional reconstructio
 n methods tends to be very low.\nWe look at the extreme case where the dec
 ay products of the top quark are\nreconstructed as a single jet\, a ``top-
 jet".\nWe first consider ``top-tag" method based on jet mass.\nWe analyze 
 both theoretical and experimental aspects of the large\nirreducible QCD je
 t background.\nWe derive a simple approximation\nfor the shape of the QCD 
 jet mass spectrum via QCD factorization.\nA good agreement between our ana
 lytic predictions\nand the Monte Carlo results is obtained.\nWe consider S
 tandard Model\, top pair production as an example.\nOur theoretical QCD je
 t mass functions allow us to efficiently\ncharacterize the background via 
 a side band analysis\;\nwe find a discovery reach of up to $p_T\\sim 1.5$ 
 TeV\, with 100\n$fb^{-1}$\, without relying on $b$ tagging.\nTo further im
 prove the significance we consider jet shapes\n(0807.0234 [hep-ph])\, whic
 h resolve substructure\nof energy flow within the cone.\nThe main virtues 
 of our approach are: (i) it does not rely blindly on\nresults from Monte C
 arlo\nbut rather on first principle calculations\; (ii)  it Applies to\nhi
 gh $p_T$ objects and is less susceptible\nto finite-detector resolution ef
 fects.\n\nhttp://indico.cern.ch/conferenceDisplay.py?confId=38865

DESCRIPTION:We find the   increase with energy of the scale of parton mome
 nta in the current fragmentation region in the limit $x_B\\rightarrow 0$ a
 nd  fixed $Q^2$ . The dispersion representation  over $Q^2$ for  LT pQCD z
 ero angle amplitude of $\\gamma^*+T\\to \\gamma^*+T$  scattering at large 
 energies is derived using the $k_t$ factorization and used to evaluate the
  scales of the hard processes in the current fragmentation region.\nThe ne
 cessity to include change of pQCD regime at small $x$ into QCD evolution e
 quation and BFKL type approximations is explained.\nThe modified Gribov fo
 rmula is derived which describes the total cross-section of the DIS in the
  black disc (BD) regime. We  find that the coherence length of the DIS pro
 cesses within the black disk  regime increases with energy  as $\\propto s
 ^{0.5-0.6}$\, significantly slower than in the parton model ($1/2m_Nx$ - t
 he Ioffe length). As a result the local gluon densities may not decrease a
 t high energies.\nAs a result in the Black Disk regime the energetic hadro
 n(nucleus) looks as biconcave lense rather  than pancake. Possible manifes
 tations  of the pattern found in the proximity of the BD regime  in DIS fo
 r proton-proton collisions at  LHC are briefly discussed.\n\nhttp://indico

DESCRIPTION:W pair production via quark-anti-quark-annihilation is an impo
 rtant signal process in the search for New Physics as well as the dominant
  irreducible background for one of the main Higgs discovery channels: H ->
  W W -> 4 leptons. Therefore\, accurate knowledge of this process is vital
  for the LHC. Firstly\, we present the result for the two loop and one-loo
 p-squared virtual QCD corrections to the W boson pair production in the li
 mit where all kinematical invariants are large compared to the mass of the
  W boson. A deep expansion in the W mass around the high energy limit comb
 ined with a numerical integration of a system of differential equations al
 lows us to obtain the corrections for the whole phase space and with full 
 mass dependence.\n\nhttp://indico.cern.ch/conferenceDisplay.py?confId=4550

  extension to more general LHC processes involving quarks and vector boson
 s\, in particular we present new results for W+3jets\, which is an omnipre

DESCRIPTION:After a light Higgs boson is discovered at the LHC\, the most 
 pressing question will be: is it the weakly interacting agent of EWSB requ
 ired by the SM (or SUSY) paradigm?  If the EWSB sector is strongly interac
 ting and the hierarchy problem is solved via dimensional transmutation the
  light Higgs could arise as a composite pseudo-Goldstone boson\, and it wi
 ll only partly unitarize the SM scattering amplitudes.\nDouble Higgs produ
 ction via vector boson fusion at the LHC provides one of the few ways to p
 robe the strength of the Higgs interactions.\nI will report on a detailed 
 study to assess the capability of the LHC to observe this challenging proc
 ess.\n\nhttp://indico.cern.ch/conferenceDisplay.py?confId=43921
