5. Some new ideas in Leptogenesis and Dark Matter studies

Rome Samanta (Southampton Univ)

An updated review is presented of the theory of low-energy antikaon and hyperon interactions with nucleons and nuclear systems. Applications include kaonic hydrogen, recent calculations of kaonic deuterium and comparisons with K-p correlation functions from ALICE at LHC. This is followed by a discussion of the possible role played by kaons and hyperons in dense baryonic matter, with special...

8. Global fits to 𝑏→𝑐𝜏𝜈 transitions

We perform a general model-independent analysis of $b \to c \tau \bar{\nu}_\tau $ transitions, including measurements of $\mathcal{R}_D$, $\mathcal{R}_{D^*}$, their $q2$ differential distributions, the recently measured longitudinal $D^*$ polarization $F_L^{D^*}$, and constraints from the $B_c \to \tau \bar{\nu}_\tau$ lifetime, each of which has significant impact on the fit. A global fit to a...

6. Asymptotic safety with N_F flavors

Enrico Maria Sessolo (NCBJ Warsaw)

I will discuss recent developments in calculating beta functions of a generic gauge-Yukawa theory augmented by N_F flavors of heavy vector-like fermions. In the limit of large N_F it is possible to reorder the perturbative expansion with 1/N_F as ordering parameter, and then resum the tower of loop diagrams with ever-increasing number of vacuum-polarization bubbles at the leading order in...
