We study the phenomenology of light scalars of masses $m_1$ and $m_2$ coupling to heavy flavour-violating vector bosons of mass $m_V$. For $m_{1,2}lesssim $ few GeV, this scenario triggers the rare $B$ meson decays $B_s^0to 3mu^+ 3mu^-$, $B^0to 3mu^+ 3mu^-$, $B^+to K^+ 3mu^+ 3mu^-$ and $B_s^0to K^{0*} 3mu^+ 3mu^-$; the last two being the most important ones for $m_1sim m_2$. None of these signals has been studied experimentally; therefore we propose analyses to test these channels at the LHCb. We demonstrate that the reach of this facility extends to branching ratios as small as $6.0times 10^{-9}$, $1.6times 10^{-9}$, $5.9times 10^{-9}$ and $1.8times 10^{-8}$ for the aforementioned channels, respectively. For $m_{1,2}gg mathcal{O}(1)$ GeV, we show that slightly modifi

We outline several directions for future investigations of the three-dimensional structure of nucleon, including multiparton correlations, color transparency, and branching processes at hadron colliders and at hadron factories. We also find evidence that pQCD regime for non-vacuum Regge trajectories sets in for $-tge 1 {GeV}^2$ leading to nearly t-independent trajectories.
We sketch a novel method to search for light di-leptonic resonances by exploiting precision measurements of Drell-Yan production. Motivated by the recent hints of lepton flavour universality violation in $B to K^{ast} ell^+ ell^-$, we illustrate our proposal by studying the case of spin-1 resonances that couple to muons and have masses in the range of a few GeV. We show that the existing LHC data on $pp to Z/gamma^ast to mu^+ mu^-$ put non-trivial constraints on light di-muon resonance interpretations of $B$ decay anomalies in a model-independent fashion. The impact of our proposal on the long-standing discrepancy in the anomalous magnetic moment of the muon is also briefly discussed.
We evaluated recent CLAS Collaboration measurements for the $90^circ$ meson photoproduction off the nucleon using a tagged photon beam spanning the energy interval $s = 3 - 11$ GeV$^2$. The results are compared with the Quark Counting Rules predictions.
We consider supersymmetric extensions of the standard model with a vector-like doublet $(T , B)$ of quarks with charge $2/3$ and $-1/3$, respectively. Compared to non-supersymmetric models, there is a variety of new decay modes for the vector-like quarks, involving the extra scalars present in supersymmetry. The importance of these new modes, yielding multi-top, multi-bottom and also multi-Higgs signals, is highlighted by the analysis of several benchmark scenarios. We show how the triangles commonly used to represent the branching ratios of the `standard decay modes of the vector-like quarks involving $W$, $Z$ or Higgs bosons can be generalised to include additional channels. We give an example by recasting the limits of a recent heavy quark search for this more general case.
There are broadly three channels to probe axion-like particles (ALPs) produced in the laboratory: through their subsequent decay to Standard Model (SM) particles, their scattering with SM particles, or their subsequent conversion to photons. Decay and scattering are the most commonly explored channels in beam-dump type experiments, while conversion has typically been utilized by light-shining-through-wall (LSW) experiments. A new class of experiments, dubbed PASSAT (Particle Accelerator helioScopes for Slim Axion-like-particle deTection), has been proposed to make use of the ALP-to-photon conversion in a novel way: ALPs, after being produced in a beam-dump setup, turn into photons in a magnetic field placed near the source. It has been shown that such hybrid beam-dump-helioscope experiments can probe regions of parameter space that have not been investigated by other laboratory-based experiments, hence providing complementary information; in particular, they probe a fundamentally different region than decay or LSW experiments. We propose the implementation of PASSAT in future neutrino experiments, taking a DUNE-like experiment as an example. We demonstrate that the magnetic field in the planned DUNE multi-purpose detector is already capable of probing the ALP-photon coupling down to $g_{agammagamma} sim {rm few}times 10^{-5}$ GeV$^{-1}$ for ALP masses $m_a lesssim 10$ eV. The implementation of a CAST or BabyIAXO-like magnet would improve the sensitivity down to $g_{agammagamma} sim 10^{-6}$ GeV$^{-1}$.
