We discuss various aspects of models with long-lived or stable colored particles. In particular we focus on an ideal Quirk model with electroweak neutral heavy (O(TeV)) particles which carry ordinary color and another $ SU(3)$ color with a very low scale $Lambda$. We show that contrary to what one might think, such a model is cosmologically consistent and evades many Pitfalls even for very low O(10 eV) $Lambda$ and without assuming a low reheat temperature. We also show that the expected production of Quirks by cosmic rays which are incorporated in heavy Isotopes in Ocean water is consistent with the highly stringent bounds on the latter. This evades a real threat to the Quirk model which would have excluded it regardless of Cosmology. Finally we briefly comment on possible LHC signatures.

We look at simple BPS systems involving more than one field. We discuss the conditions that have to be imposed on various terms in Lagrangians involving many fields to produce BPS systems and then look in more detail at the simplest of such cases. We analyse in detail BPS systems involving 2 interacting Sine-Gordon like fields, both when one of them has a kink solution and the second one either a kink or an antikink solution. We take their solitonic static solutions and use them as initial conditions for their evolution in Lorentz covaria
We give a simple discussion of ghosts, unitarity violation, negative norm states and quantum vs classical behavior in the simplest model with four derivative action - the Pais-Uhlenbeck oscillator. We also point out that the normalizable vacuum state (in the sense defined below) of this model can be understood as spontaneous breaking of the emergent conformal symmetry. We provide an example of an interacting system that couples the particle and ghost degrees of freedom and nevertheless remains unitary on both classical and quantum level.
A recent paper by the CDF collaboration suggests (but does not claim) an anomalous event sample containing muons produced with large impact parameter, often with high multiplicity and at small angles from one another. This curious hint of a signal is potentially consistent with the hidden valley scenario, as well as with some other classes of models. Despite its tenuous nature, this hint highlights the experimental difficulties raised by such signals, and merits some consideration. Some of the simplest interpretations of the data, such as a light neutral particle decaying to muon and/or tau pairs, are largely disfavored; three-body decays to $tautau u$ appear slightly better. An alternative speculative possibility -- a micro-cascade decay -- might be consistent with the data. It is suggested that the experimentalists involved provide additional plots showing invariant mass distributions of same- and opposite-sign dimuon pairs, invariant masses of various classes of displaced vertices, and spatial correlations among vertices within a cone.

We report on an investigation of various problems related to the theory of the electroweak phase transition. This includes a determination of the nature of the phase transition, a discussion of the possible role of higher order radiative corrections and the theory of the formation and evolution of the bubbles of the new phase. We find in particular that no dangerous linear terms appear in the effective potential. However, the strength of the first order phase transition is 2/3 times less than what follows from the one-loop approximation. This rules out baryogenesis in the minimal version of the electroweak theory.
The graviton solutions for the glueball spectrum of ref. cite{Rinaldi:2017wdn} interpreted in a different manner lead to very interesting results which we describe in this comment.
