On The Vacuum Oscillation Solution of The Solar Neutrino Problem

Abstract

We study the stability of the two--neutrino vacuum oscillation solution of the solar neutrino problem with respect to changes of the total fluxes of boron and beryllium neutrinos. For any value of $Φ_{\rm Be}$ from the interval $0.7Φ^{\rm BP}_{\rm Be}\leq Φ_{\rm Be} \leq 1.3Φ^{\rm BP}_{\rm Be}$ the solar $ν_e$ oscillations into an active neutrino provide at 95\% C.L. a description of the existing solar neutrino data for $Φ_{\rm B} \cong (0.35 - 3.4) Φ^{\rm BP}_{\rm B}$, $Φ^{\rm BP}_{\rm B}$ and $Φ^{\rm BP}_{\rm Be}$ being the fluxes in the solar model of Bahcall--Pinsonneault from 1992. For $Φ_{\rm Be}\cong (0.7 - 1.3)Φ^{\rm BP}_{\rm Be}$ we find also at 95\% C.L. two new (one new) oscillation solutions for oscillations into active (sterile) neutrinos. The physical implications of the new solutions for the future solar neutrino experiments are discussed. The data rule out at 97\% -- 98\% (99 \%) C.L. the possibility of a universal (neutrino energy independent) suppression of the different components of the solar neutrino flux, resulting from solar $ν_e$ oscillations or transitions into active (sterile) neutrino.

Pomeron Weights in QCD Processes at High Energy and the $S$-Matrix Unitarity Constraint

The pomeron topological cross-section is derived for the eikonal and the $U$-matrix unitarization schemes using a generalized representation of the scattering amplitude at high energy in an effort to examine pomeron characteristics, namely the multiplicity distribution, fluctuation, and correlation, and to reveal the impact of pomeron weights on the $pp$ multiplicity distribution. The results demonstrate that the $U$-matrix inherently incorporates a larger amount of diffraction production into the multi-pomeron vertices, yielding a larger pomerons' variability regardless of the energy range, while such fluctuations become significant only beyond a specific high-energy threshold in eikonal-like schemes. Most importantly, our findings indicate that within the $U$-matrix scheme, an increase in exchanged pomerons results in more pronounced pomeron correlations and that this correlated resummation plays a key role in enhancing multi-parton collisions. We argue that the choice of unitarization scheme is not arbitrary, as it directly dictates the statistical structure of multi-reggeon exchanges. By reflecting the composite nature of hadrons, rational alternatives to eikonal-like schemes, such as the $U$-matrix, offer a compelling theoretical foundation for modeling high-energy hadronic collisions, provided that specific formulations can be identified that strictly satisfy all mathematical and physical constraints.

Two-loop renormalisation of quark and gluon fields in the SMEFT

We compute the contributions of CP-conserving operators in the dimension-six SMEFT to the two-loop renormalisation constants of quark and gluon fields in the $\overline{\textrm{MS}}$-scheme. Specifically, we consider the top-quark chromomagnetic operator and the triple gluon operator. We work with the background-field method, which allows us to extract the contribution of these operators to the two-loop running of the top mass and the strong coupling constant. We discuss in detail the mixing with the unphysical operators required for the renormalisation, and we present analytic results for the renormalisation constants of all relevant operators.

Two-loop renormalisation of quark and gluon fields in the SMEFT in the on-shell scheme

We compute the contributions of CP-conserving dimension-six SMEFT operators to the two-loop renormalisation constants of quark and gluon fields in the on-shell scheme. Specifically, we consider the top-quark chromomagnetic operator and the triple gluon operator. We also compute the contribution of four-quark operators to the gluon renormalisation constant and discuss the implications for the running of the strong coupling constant.
