The center-of-mass energies available at modern accelerators, such as the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), and at forthcoming generation accelerators, such as the Electron-Ion Collider (EIC), offer us a unique opportunity to investigate hadronic matter under the most extreme conditions ever reached. In particular, we can access the Regge-Gribov regime of QCD, described by the Balitsky-Fadin-Kuraev-Lipatov (BFKL) approach along with its non-linear generalizations (the set of B-JIMWLK equations). The aim of these approaches is to resum large-energy logarithmic corrections which spoil the convergence of perturbative series at high-energy. The aforementioned approaches are theoretically developed both in the leading (LL) and the next-to-leading (NLL) approximation, but precise full NLL predictions still remains an open challenge. Furthermore, extending BFKL beyond the NLL approximation has been an open problem for more than twenty years. We face the task of hunting precision in this field from different perspectives. In particular, within the BFKL approach, we calculate the next-to-leading order (NLO) impact factor for the Higgs boson production. This is the necessary ingredient to study the inclusive forward emissions of a Higgs boson in association with a backward identified jet. Moreover, by using already known NLO impact factors, we propose a series of new semi-hard reactions that can be used to investigate BFKL dynamics at the LHC within NLL accuracy. We consider also the problem of extending BFKL beyond the NLL approximation and compute one of the ingredients entering the BFKL kernel at the next-to-NLL (NNLL) accuracy. Finally, in the saturation (non-linear) framework, we calculate the diffractive double hadron photo- or electroproduction cross sections with full NLL accuracy, useful to detect saturation effects, at both the future EIC or already at LHC (via Ultra Peripheral Collisions).
Probing the charged Higgs boson at the LHC in the CP-violating type-II 2HDM
在大型强子对撞机上对具有II型汤川耦合的CP破坏的两Higgs偶线模型进行了唯象研究。在最近的LHC数据的光,我们专注于生存的参数空间的当前和过去的实验约束,以及模型的理论界限。一旦设定了唯象的方案,我们就分析了LHC在探索这个模型中的作用范围,我们发现了一个带电的希格斯玻色子玻色子与一个W玻色子结合产生,前者衰变成最轻的中性希格斯和第二个W态,总共产生了一个b \bar b W^+W^-签名,我们利用了其中的W^+W^-半轻子衰变。
中微子超光速传播的一个唯象解释是,中微子在物质内部的传播速度比在真空中快,这可能已经被OPERA和MINOS观测到。如果是这样的话,中微子在物质内部表现出折射,并且应该表现出折射的其他表现,例如偏转和反射。这种折射很容易通过施加到插入中微子束中的适当形状的折射材料上的动量来检测。对于NuMI,这可能高达~ 10 g cm/s。如果这些效应被发现,它们将提供操纵和探测中微子的新方法。给出了这种情况似乎不可信的原因,但仍然值得进行简单的中微子差折射的搜索。

时空平移不变性,导致能量和动量守恒,不仅是物理学中最基本的,也是最普遍接受的对称性假设。然而,谨慎的做法是将这些假设付诸实验和观察检验。在这篇文章中,我们在这个方向上迈出了第一步,指定了一个简单的周期性的时间依赖,违反了QED的时间平移不变性,并设置唯象约束,除了观测和实验的约束,随时间变化的耦合,我们专注于探测违反能量守恒,如自发产生的光子和电子对和$e \to e γ$过程。我们讨论的时变基本常数的讨论和光玻色暗物质场的情况下,通常也会导致振荡效应的相似性和差异。
