Via a Bayesian likelihood analysis using 219 recent cosmic ray spectral data points we extract the anomalous part of the cosmic $e^pm$ flux. First we show that a significant tension exists between the $e^pm$ related and the rest of the fluxes. Interpreting this tension as the presence of an anomalous component in the $e^pm$ related data, we then infer the values of selected cosmic ray propagation parameters excluding the anomalous data sample from the analysis. Based on these values we calculate background predictions with theoretical uncertainties for PAMELA and Fermi-LAT. We find a statistically significant deviation between the Fermi-LAT $e^-+e^+$ data and the predicted background even when (systematic) uncertainties are taken into account. Identifying this deviation as an anomalous $e^pm$ contribution, we make an attempt to distinguish between various sources that may be responsible for the anomalous $e^pm$ flux.

An overview is presented of a method to search for $D^0to{}e^{pm}mu^{mp}$ with LHCb data. In order to reduce combinatorial backgrounds, tagged $D^0$ candidates from the decay $D^{ast+}to{}D^0pi^+$ are used. This measurement is performed with respect to $mathcal{B}left(D^0to{}pi^+pi^-right)$, which cancels uncertainties in the luminosity and $D^{ast+}$ production cross-section. It is estimated that using $3,mathrm{fb}^{-1}$ of LHCb data an upper limit can be attained of $mathcal{O}left(10^{-7}right)$ at a $90%$ confidence level.
This work reports the first observation of azimuthal asymmetries around the thrust axis in $e^+e^-$ annihilation of pairs of back-to-back charged pions in one hemisphere, and $pi^0$ and $eta$ mesons in the opposite hemisphere. These results are compl emented by a new analysis of pairs of back-to-back charged pions. The $pi^0$ and $eta$ asymmetries rise with the relative momentum $z$ of the detected hadrons as well as with the transverse momentum with respect to the thrust axis. These asymmetries are sensitive to the Collins fragmentation function $H_1^{perp}$ and provide complementary information to previous measurements with charged pions and kaons in the final state. In particular, the $eta$ final states will provide additional information on the flavor structure of $H_1^{perp}$. This is the first measurement of the explicit transverse-momentum dependence of the Collins fragmentation function from Belle data. It uses a dataset of 980.4~fb$^{-1}$ collected by the Belle experiment at or near a center-of-mass energy of 10.58 GeV.
We explain the $e^+ e^-$ excess observed by the DAMPE Collaboration using a dark matter model based upon the Higgs triplet model and an additional hidden $SU(2)_X$ gauge symmetry. Two of the $SU(2)_X$ gauge bosons are stable due to a residual discret e symmetry and serve as the dark matter candidate. We search the parameter space for regions that can explain the observed relic abundance, and compute the flux of $e^+ e^-$ coming from a nearby dark matter subhalo. With the inclusion of background cosmic rays, we show that the model can render a good fit to the entire energy spectrum covering the AMS-02, Fermi-LAT and DAMPE data.
The hitherto unobserved purely leptonic decays B^pm -> tau^pm u and B^pm -> mu^pm u are of much interest at current and future runs of the e+e- B factories. Such decays are sensitive to charged Higgs bosons (H^pm) at the tree-level and provide esse ntially model independent constraints on tanbeta/m_{H^pm}. We include the large corrections to the H^pm-ub coupling induced by virtual SUSY effects and show that the bounds on tanbeta/m_{H^pm} can be significantly weakened or strengthened.
We have witnessed the beginning of an era where dark matter and neutrino detectors can probe similar new physics phenomena. Motivated by the low-energy electron recoil spectrum observed by the dark matter experiment, XENON1T, at Gran Sasso laboratory , we interpret the observed signal not in terms of a dark matter particle, but rather in the context of a new light $Z^prime$ gauge boson. We discuss how such a light $Z^prime$ rises in a Two Higgs Doublet Model augmented by an abelian gauge symmetry where neutrino masses and the flavor problem are addressed, in agreement with neutrino-electron scattering data.
