Radiative Corrections to e^+e^-→ Zh at Future Higgs Factory in the Minimal Dilaton Model

Abstract The minimal dilaton model （MDM） extends the Standard Model by one singlet scalar called dilaton andone top quark partner called t. In this work we investigate the t-induced radiative correction to the Higgs-strahlung production process e＋e^→ Zh at future Higgs factory. We first present the analytical calculations in detail and show how to handle the ultraviolet divergence. Then we calculate the correction numerically by considering the constraints from precision electroweak data. We find that, for sinθL=0.2 and mt= 1200 GeV, the correction is 0.26% and 2.1% for SE＋E = 240 GeV, 1 TeV respectively, and a larger value can be achieved as sin θL increases.

Effects of R-parity Violation on the Charged Higgs Boson Decays

We calculate one-loop R-parity-violating coupling corrections to theprocesses H~- → τv_τ and H~- → bt. We find that the corrections to the H~- → τv_τ decay modeare generally about 0.1%, and can be negligible. But the corrections to the H~- → bt decay mode canreach a few percent for the favored parameters.

Recent progress on isospin breaking corrections and their impact on the muon g-2 value

We describe some recent results on isospin breaking corrections which are of relevance for predictions of the leading order hadronic contribution to the muon anomalous magnetic moment aμ^had.LO when using τ lepton data. When these corrections are applied to the new combined data on the π^±π^0 spectral function, the prediction for aμ^had.LO based on τ lepton data gets closer to the one obtained using e^＋e^- data.

Status and accuracy of the Monte Carlo generators for luminosity measurements

The status and accuracy of the precision Monte Carlo generators used for luminosity measurements at flavour factories is reviewed. It is shown that, thanks to a considerable, long-term effort in tuned comparisons between the predictions of independent programs, as well as in the validation of the generators against the presently available calculations of the next-to-next-to-leading order QED corrections to Bhabha scattering, the theoretical accuracy reached by the most precise tools is of about one per mille. This error estimate is valid for realistic experimental cuts, appears to be quite robust and is already sufficient for very accurate luminosity measurements. However, recent progress and possible advances to further improve it are also discussed.

News on PHOTOS Monte Carlo:γ~*→π^+π^-(γ) and K~±→π^+π^-e~±ν(γ)

PHOTOS Monte Carlo is widely used for simulating QED effects in decay of intermediate particles and resonances. It can be easily connected to other main process generators. In this paper we consider decaying processes γ＊→π^＋π^-（γ） and K^±→π^＋π^-e^±υ（γ） in the framework of Scalar QED. These two processes are interesting not only for the technical aspect of PHOTOS Monte Carlo, but also for precision measurement of αED（Mz）, g--2, as well as ππ scattering lengths.

B→X_(s)γin BLMSSM

Applying the effective Lagrangian method,we study the flavor changing neutral current process b→sγwithin the minimal supersymmetric extension of the Standard Model,where baryon and lepton numbers are local gauge symmetries.Constraints on the parameters are investigated numerically with the experimental data for the branching ratioof B→X_(s)γAdditionally,we present the corrections to direct CP-violation in B→X_(s)γand time-de-pendent CP-asymmetry in B→K*γ.With appropriate assumptions on the parameters,we find the direct CP-viola-tion Acp is very small,while one-loop contributions to S K*γcan be significant.

Horava–Lifshitz Type Quantum Field Theory and Hierarchy Problem

We study the Lifshitz type extension of the standard model(SM) at the UV, with dynamical critical exponent z = 3. One loop radiative corrections to the Higgs mass in such a model are calculated. Our result shows that,the Hierarchy problem, which has initiated many excellent extension of the minimal SM, may be weakened in the z = 3 Lifshitz type quantum field theory.

Density measurement through elastic electron scattering with a gaseous target at the Jefferson Lab

We report the density measurement through e-3He elastic scattering with a 1.23 GeV electron beam in Jefferson Lab experiment E06-010. The extracted 3He density is （9.26±0.06） amagats and the N2/3He ratio is （1.49±0.08）%. In addition, these results are consistent with the deduced target densities based on pressure broadening measurement.

Next-to-leading-order calculation in k_T factorization

We explain the framework for calculating next-to-leading-order （NLO） corrections to exclusive processes in the kT factorization theorem, taking πγ^＊→γ as an example. Patrons off-shell by kT^2 are considered in both the quark diagrams from full QCD and the effective diagrams for the pion wave function. The gauge dependences in the above two sets of diagrams cancel, when deriving the kw-dependent hard kernel as their difference. The light-cone singularities in the kT-dependent pion wave function are regularized by rotating the Wilson lines away from the light cone. Both the large double logarithms In^2 kT and In^2x, x being a parton momentum fraction, arise from the loop correction to the virtual photon vertex, the former being absorbed into the pion wave function, and the latter into a jet function.

Derived Born cross sections of e^+e^-annihilation into open charm mesons from CLEO-c measurements

The exclusive Born cross sections of the production of D0, D＋ and Ds＋ mesons in e＋e- annihilation at 13 energy points between 3.970 and 4.260 GeV are obtained by applying corrections for initial state radiation and vacuum polarization to the observed cross sections measured by the CLEO-c experiment. Both the statistical and the systematic uncertainties for the obtained Born cross sections are estimated.
