Necessity of mixed kinetic term in the description of general system with identical fields

Most general renormalizable interaction in the system with a set of scalar fields having identical quantum numbers generates naturally mixed kinetic terms in the Lagrangian. Taking into account these terms leads to modification both the renormalization group equations and the tree level analysis as compare with many published results. We obtain conditions for non-appearance of such a running mixing in some important cases.

Charge asymmetries in γγ\to \ell^+\ell^-+ ν's (\ell=μ, e) with polarized photons in the Standard Model

It is shown that in reaction γγ\to\ell^+\ell^-+ν's at \sqrt{s}>200 GeV with polarized photons, large and well observable differences arise in the distribution of positive and negative charged leptons (\ell=μ^\pm, e^\pm), (charge asymmetry). The modification due to the contribution of the cascade processes with intermediate τ-lepton in γγ\to W^\pm\ell^\mp + ν's reaction is taken into account. This charge asymmetry is potentially sensitive to effects of physics beyond the standard model at the anticipated luminosity of the Photon Collider mode of the future international linear collider.

Different vacua in 2HDM

We discuss the extrema of the Two Higgs Doublet Model with different physical properties. We have found necessary and sufficient conditions for realization of the extrema with different properties as the vacuum state of the model. We found explicit equations for extremum energies via parameters of potential if it has explicitly CP conserving form. These equations allow to pick out extremum with lower energy -- vacuum state and to look for change of extrema (phase transitions) with the variation of parameters of potential. Our goal is to find general picture here to apply it for description of early Universe.

Large contribution of virtual Delbrueck scattering to the emission of photons by relativistic nuclei in nucleus-nucleus and electron-nucleus collisions

Delbrueck scattering is an elastic scattering of a photon in the Coulomb field of a nucleus via a virtual electron loop. The contribution of this virtual subprocess to the emission of a photon in the collision of ultra-relativistic nuclei Z_1 Z_2 -> Z_1 Z_2 gamma is considered. We identify the incoming virtual photon as being generated by one of the relativistic nuclei involved in the binary collision and the scattered photon as being emitted in the process. The energy and angular distributions of the photons are calculated. The discussed process has no infrared divergence. The total cross section obtained is 14 barn for Au-Au collisions at the RHIC collider and 50 barn for Pb-Pb collisions at the LHC collider. These cross sections are considerably larger than those for ordinary tree-level nuclear bremsstrahlung in the considered photon energy range m_e << E_γ<< m_e gamma, where gamma is the Lorentz factor of the nucleus. Finally, photon emission in electron-nucleus collisions e Z -> e Z gamma is discussed in the context of the eRHIC option.

CP Studies and Non-Standard Higgs Physics

There are many possibilities for new physics beyond the Standard Model that feature non-standard Higgs sectors. These may introduce new sources of CP violation, and there may be mixing between multiple Higgs bosons or other new scalar bosons. Alternatively, the Higgs may be a composite state, or there may even be no Higgs at all. These non-standard Higgs scenarios have important implications for collider physics as well as for cosmology, and understanding their phenomenology is essential for a full comprehension of electroweak symmetry breaking. This report discusses the most relevant theories which go beyond the Standard Model and its minimal, CP-conserving supersymmetric extension: two-Higgs-doublet models and minimal supersymmetric models with CP violation, supersymmetric models with an extra singlet, models with extra gauge groups or Higgs triplets, Little Higgs models, models in extra dimensions, and models with technicolour or other new strong dynamics. For each of these scenarios, this report presents an introduction to the phenomenology, followed by contributions on more detailed theoretical aspects and studies of possible experimental signatures at the LHC and other colliders.

Symmetries of 2HDM, different vacua, CP violation and possible relation to a history of time

The same physical reality in Two Higgs doublet model (2HDM) can be described by different Lagrangians. We call this property the reparametrization invariance (in space of Lagrangians) and study corresponding symmetry group and its subgroup describing rephasing invariance. Next we consider the $Z_2$-symmetry of the Lagrangian, which prevents a $ϕ_1\leftrightarrowϕ_2$ transitions, and the different levels of its violation, soft and hard. We argue that the 2HDM with a soft breaking of $Z_2$-symmetry is a natural model in the description of EWSB. We also consider vacuum structure of the 2HDM. We find very simple condition for a CP violation in the Higgs sector. In the Model II for Yukawa interactions we obtain the set of relations among the couplings to gauge bosons and to fermions which allows one to analyze different physical situations (including CP violation) in terms of these very couplings, instead of the parameters of Lagrangian. We discuss possible interaction of Higgs fields of SM or 2HDM with inflatory Higgs field describing exponential expansion of Universe after Big Bang and possible variation in the scenario of beginning of Time.

How to measure the Pomeron phase in diffractive dipion photoproduction

The study of charge asymmetry of pions in the high-energy process gamma p -> pi+ pi- p (e p -> e pi+ pi- p) at very small dipion momenta offers a method to measure the phase of the forward hadronic (quasi)elastic amplitude gamma p -> rho p. We estimate potential of such measurements at HERA.

We also discuss briefly possible applications of some elements of proposed scheme for standard fixed target experiments, new experiments with ν_μN interactions and in material sciences.

Physics Interplay of the LHC and the ILC

Physics at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) and the International e+e- Linear Collider (ILC) will be complementary in many respects, as has been demonstrated at previous generations of hadron and lepton colliders. This report addresses the possible interplay between the LHC and ILC in testing the Standard Model and in discovering and determining the origin of new physics. Mutual benefits for the physics programme at both machines can occur both at the level of a combined interpretation of Hadron Collider and Linear Collider data and at the level of combined analyses of the data, where results obtained at one machine can directly influence the way analyses are carried out at the other machine. Topics under study comprise the physics of weak and strong electroweak symmetry breaking, supersymmetric models, new gauge theories, models with extra dimensions, and electroweak and QCD precision physics. The status of the work that has been carried out within the LHC / LC Study Group so far is summarised in this report. Possible topics for future studies are outlined.

Tree-level unitarity constraints in the 2HDM with CP-violation

We obtain tree-level unitarity constraints for the Two Higgs Doublet Model (2HDM) with explicit CP-violation. We limit ourselves to the case with soft violation of the discrete Z_2 symmetry of theory. The key role is played by the rephasing invariance of the 2HDM lagrangian. Our simple approach for derivation of these constraints can be easily transferred to other forms of Higgs sector. We briefly discuss correspondence between possible violation of tree level unitarity limitation and physical content of theory.

Possibility of the odderon discovery via observation of charge asymmetry in the diffractive pi+pi- production at HERA

The interference between the Pomeron and possible odderon mechanisms of diffractive pi+pi- photoproduction results in charge asymmetry of the produced pions. The observation of charge asymmetry of pions at moderate M_{pi+pi-} will be an undoubted signal of odderon existence. To make numeral estimates more definite, we limit ourselves by the region M_{pi+pi-} = 1.1 -- 1.5 GeV, where in the odderon mechanism of dipion production, the production via single f_2(1270) resonance is expected to be dominant. We find a very statistically significant effect of the odderon induced charge asymmetry even with very modest estimates for the f_2 photoproduction cross section (without referring to any particular model of the odderon).
