A study of intermittency in hadron-nucleus and the comparison with nucleus-nucleus interactions is presented. The power law behavior of the factorial moments and the variation of intermittency index with the center-of-mass energy are shown. Results favor the formation of quark-gluon plasma in preference to a cascade mechanism.

We discuss the physics opportunities and challenges presented by high energy lepton colliders in the range of center-of-mass energy between few and several tens of TeV. The focus is on the progress attainable on the study of weak and Higgs interactions in connection with new physics scenarios motivated by the shortcomings of the Standard Model.

AbstractThe inclusive hadroproduction of two heavy quarks, featuring a large separation in rapidity, is proposed as a novel probe channel of the Balitsky–Fadin–Kuraev–Lipatov (BFKL) approach. In a theoretical setup which includes full resummation of leading logarithms in the center-of-mass energy and partial resummation of the next-to-leading ones, predictions for the cross section and azimuthal coefficients are presented for kinematic configurations typical of current and possible future experimental analyses at the LHC.

In the framework of the littlest Higgs Model with T-parity (LHT), we investigate the single production of vector-like top partner [Formula: see text] decaying to [Formula: see text] in the leptonic channel at the high energy [Formula: see text] collision. We utilize the polarized electron beam and photon beam to enhance the signal and propose a search strategy by performing a detector simulation. On the basis of the current limits from the precision electroweak data and Higgs data, we find that the top partner mass can be excluded up to 1350 (1380) GeV with integrated luminosity of 1000 fb[Formula: see text] and 1400 (1470) GeV with integrated luminosity of 3000 fb[Formula: see text] for the [Formula: see text] TeV (2.4 TeV) at the [Formula: see text] level. If the center-of-mass energy can be improved to 3.0 TeV, the limits on the top partner mass will reach 1450 (1550) GeV with integrated luminosities of 1000 (3000) fb[Formula: see text].

Anisotropic flow is sensitive to the shear (η/s) and bulk (ζ/s) viscosity of the quark-gluon plasma created in heavy-ion collisions, as well as the initial state of such collisions and hadronization mechanisms. In these proceedings, elliptic (υ2) and higher harmonic (υ3, υ4) flow coefficients of π±, K±, p(p) and the ϕ-meson, are presented for Pb—Pb collisions at the highest-ever center-of-mass energy of [see formula in PDF] = 5.02 TeV. Comparisons to hydrodynamic calculations (IP-Glasma, MUSIC, UrQMD) are shown to constrain the initial conditions and viscosity of the medium.

At the quark–hadron transition, when quarks get confined to hadrons, certain orbitally excited states, namely those which have excitation energies above the respective L = 0 states of the same order as the transition temperature Tc, may form easily because of thermal velocities of quarks at the transition temperature. We propose that the ratio of multiplicities of such excited states to the respective L = 0 states can serve as an almost model independent signal for the quark–gluon plasma (QGP) formation in relativistic heavy-ion collisions. For example, the ratio R* of multiplicities of [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] when plotted with respect to the center-of-mass energy of the collision [Formula: see text] (or vs. centrality/number of participants), should show a jump at the value of [Formula: see text] beyond which the QGP formation occurs. This should happen irrespective of the shape of the overall plot of R* vs. [Formula: see text]. Recent data from RHIC on Λ*/Λ vs. N part for large values of N part may be indicative of such a behavior, though there are large error bars. We give a list of several other such candidate hadronic states.

The spectroscopic properties of heavy quarkonia are substantially different in the quark–gluon plasma (QGP) that is created in relativistic heavy-ion collisions as compared to the vacuum situation that can be tested in [Formula: see text] collisions at the same center-of-mass energy. In this paper, a series of recent works about the dissociation of the [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] states in the hot QGP are summarized. Quarkonia dissociation occurs due to (1) screening of the real quark-antiquark potential, (2) collisional damping through the imaginary part of the potential, and (3) gluon-induced dissociation. In addition, reduced feed-down plays a decisive role for the spin-triplet ground state. Transverse-momentum and centrality-dependent data are well reproduced in Pb–Pb collisions at LHC energies. In the asymmetric [Formula: see text]-Pb system, alterations of the parton density functions in the lead nucleus account for the leading fraction of the modifications in cold nuclear matter (CNM), but the hot-medium effects turn out to be relevant in spite of the small initial spatial extent of the fireball, providing additional evidence for the generation of a quark–gluon droplet.

The production of scalar unparticle (spin - 0) in the photon - electron  collider are calculated in all s-, t-, and u-channels in detail as well as interference between channels together. By searching for missing energy distributions as well as evaluating dependence of  differential cross section (DCS) on the scattering angle  and cross section (CS) on the center of mass energy , we hope that the unparticles production in high energy collider might be detected in future.

In September 2012, Chinese scientists proposed a Circular Electron Positron Collider (CEPC) in China at 240 GeV center-of-mass energy for Higgs studies. The booster provides 120 GeV electron and positron beams to the CEPC collider for top-up injection at 0.1 Hz. The design of the full energy booster ring of the CEPC is a challenge. The ejected beam energy is 120 GeV and the injected beam energy is 6 GeV. In this paper we describe two alternative schemes, the wiggler bend scheme and the normal bend scheme. For the wiggler bend scheme, we propose to operate the booster ring as a large wiggler at low energy and as a normal ring at high energy to avoid the problem of very low dipole magnet fields. For the normal bend scheme, we implement the orbit correction to correct the earth field.

In models with large extra dimensions, particle collisions with center-of-mass energy larger than the fundamental gravitational scale can generate nonperturbative gravitational objects such as black holes and branes. The formation and the subsequent decay of these super-Planckian objects would be detectable in particle colliders and high energy cosmic ray detectors, and have interesting implications in cosmology and astrophysics. In this paper we present a review of black hole and brane production in TeV-scale gravity.

The self-couplings of the electroweak gauge bosons are completely specified by the non-Abelian gauge nature of the Standard Model (SM). The direct study of these couplings provides a significant opportunity to test the validity of the SM and the existence of new physics beyond the SM up to the high energy scale. For this reason, we investigate the potential of the processes γγ→ZZ, e-γ→e-γ⁎γ→e-ZZ,  and e+e-→e+γ⁎γ⁎e-→e+ZZe- to examine the anomalous quartic couplings of ZZγγ vertex at the Compact Linear Collider (CLIC) with center-of-mass energy 3 TeV. We calculate 95% confidence level sensitivities on the dimension-8 parameters with various values of the integrated luminosity. We show that the best bounds on the anomalous fM2/Λ4, fM3/Λ4, fT0/Λ4, and fT9/Λ4 couplings arising from γγ→ZZ process among those three processes at center-of-mass energy of 3 TeV and integrated luminosity of Lint=2000 fb−1 are found to be [-3.30;3.30]×10-3 TeV−4, [-1.20;1.20]×10-2 TeV−4, [-3.40;3.40]×10-3 TeV−4, and [-1.80;1.80]×10-3 TeV−4, respectively.
