We show that the running of operators which mix under renormalization can be computed fully non-perturbatively as a product of continuum step scaling matrices. These step scaling matrices are obtained by taking the ratio of Z matrices computed at different energies in an RI-MOM type scheme for which twisted boundary conditions are an essential ingredient. Our method allows us to relax the bounds of the Rome-Southampton window. We also explain why such a method is important in view of the light quark physics program of the RBC-UKQCD collaborations. To illustrate our method, using n_f=2+1 domain-wall fermions, we compute the non-perturbative running matrix of four-quark operators needed in K->pipi decay and neutral kaon mixing. Our results are then compared to perturbation theory.

We have calculated continuum limit step scaling functions of bilinear and four-fermion operators renormalized in a Rome-Southampton scheme using various smearing prescriptions for the gauge field. Also, for the first time, we have calculated non-pert
urbative anomalous dimensions of operators renormalized in a Rome-Southampton scheme. The effect of such smearing first enters connected fermionic correlation functions via radiative corrections. We use off-shell renormalisation as a probe, and observe that the upper edge of the Rome-Southampton window is reduced by link smearing. This can be interpreted as arising due to the fermions decoupling from the high momentum gluons and we observe that the running of operators with the scale at large lattice momenta shows enhanced lattice artefacts. We find that the effect is greater for HEX smearing than for Stout smearing, but that in both cases additional care must be taken when using off-shell renormalisation with smeared gauge fields compared to thin link simulations.
An axion-like particle (ALP) with mass $m_phi sim 10^{-15}$eV oscillates with frequency $sim$1 Hz. This mass scale lies in an open window of astrophysical constraints, and appears naturally as a consequence of grand unification (GUT) in string/M-theo
ry. However, with a GUT-scale decay constant such an ALP overcloses the Universe, and cannot solve the strong CP problem. In this paper, we present a two axion model in which the 1 Hz ALP constitutes the entirety of the dark matter (DM) while the QCD axion solves the strong CP problem but contributes negligibly to the DM relic density. The mechanism to achieve the correct relic densities relies on low-scale inflation ($m_phi lesssim H_{rm inf}lesssim 1$ MeV), and we present explicit realisations of such a model. The scale in the axion potential leading to the 1 Hz axion generates a value for the strong CP phase which oscillates around $bar{theta}_{rm QCD}sim 10^{-12}$, within reach of the proton storage ring electric dipole moment experiment. The 1 Hz axion is also in reach of near future laboratory and astrophysical searches.
We present a new mechanism to deplete the energy density of the QCD axion, making decay constants as high as $f_a simeq 10^{17},rm{GeV}$ viable for generic initial conditions. In our setup, the axion couples to a massless dark photon with a coupling
that is moderately stronger than the axion coupling to gluons. Dark photons are produced copiously through a tachyonic instability when the axion field starts oscillating, and an exponential suppression of the axion density can be achieved. For a large part of the parameter space this dark radiation component of the universe can be observable in upcoming CMB experiments. Such dynamical depletion of the axion density ameliorates the isocurvature bound on the scale of inflation. The depletion also amplifies the power spectrum at scales that enter the horizon before particle production begins, potentially leading to axion miniclusters.
In this article we investigate the benefits of increasing the maximum nuclear recoil energy analysed in dark matter (DM) direct detection experiments. We focus on elastic DM-nucleus interactions, and work within the framework of effective field theor
y (EFT) to describe the scattering cross section. In agreement with previous literature, we show that an increased maximum energy leads to more stringent upper bounds on the DM-nucleus cross section for the EFT operators, especially those with an explicit momentum dependence. In this article we extend the energy region of interest (ROI) to show that the optimal values of the maximum energy for xenon and argon are of the order of 500 keV and 300 keV, respectively. We then show how, if a signal compatible with DM is observed, an enlarged energy ROI leads to a better measurement of the DM mass and couplings. In particular, for a xenon detector, DM masses of the order of 200 GeV (2 TeV) or lower can be reconstructed for momentum-independent (-dependent) operators. We also investigate three-dimensional parameter reconstruction and apply it to the specific case of scalar DM and anapole DM. We find that opening the energy ROI is an excellent way to identify the linear combination of momentum-dependent and momentum-independent operators, and it is crucial to correctly distinguish these models. Finally, we show how an enlarged energy ROI also allows us to test astrophysical parameters of the DM halo, such as the DM escape speed.
We study the mixing of the Gluino-Glue operator in ${cal N}$=1 Supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory (SYM), both in dimensional regularization and on the lattice. We calculate its renormalization, which is not only multiplicative, due to the fact that thi
s operator can mix with non-gauge invariant operators of equal or, on the lattice, lower dimension. These operators carry the same quantum numbers under Lorentz transformations and global gauge transformations, and they have the same ghost number. We compute the one-loop quantum correction for the relevant two-point and three-point Greens functions of the Gluino-Glue operator. This allows us to determine renormalization factors of the operator in the $overline{textrm{MS}}$ scheme, as well as the mixing coefficients for the other operators. To this end our computations are performed using dimensional and lattice regularizations. We employ a standard discretization where gluinos are defined on lattice sites and gluons reside on the links of the lattice; the discretization is based on Wilsons formulation of non-supersymmetric gauge theories with clover improvement. The number of colors, $N_c$, the gauge parameter, $beta$, and the clover coefficient, $c_{rm SW}$, are left as free parameters.
