Study of $\psi(3686)\to\pi^0 h_c, h_c\to\gamma\eta_c$ via $\eta_c$ exclusive decays
The process $\psi(3686) \to \pi^0 h_c, h_c \to \gamma \eta_c$ has been studied with a data sample of $106 \pm 4$ million $\psi(3686)$ events collected with the BESIII detector at the BEPCII storage ring. The mass and width of the $P$-wave charmonium spin-singlet state $h_c(^1P_1)$ are determined by simultaneously fitting distributions of the $\pi^0$ recoil mass for 16 exclusive $\eta_c$ decay modes. The results, $M(\hc) = 3525.31 \pm 0.11 {\rm (stat.)} \pm 0.14 {\rm (syst.)}$\,MeV/$c^2$ and $\Gamma(\hc) = 0.70 \pm 0.28 \pm 0.22$\,MeV, are consistent with and more precise than previous measurements. We also determine the branching ratios for the 16 exclusive $\eta_c$ decay modes, five of which have not been measured previously. New measurements of the $\eta_c$ line-shape parameters in the $E1$ transition $h_c\to\gamma\eta_c$ are made by selecting candidates in the $h_c$ signal sample and simultaneously fitting the hadronic mass spectra for the 16 $\eta_c$ decay channels. The resulting $\eta_c$ mass and width values are $M(\eta_c) = 2984.49 \pm 1.16 \pm 0.52$\,MeV/$c^2$ and $\Gamma(\eta_c) = 36.4 \pm 3.2 \pm 1.7$\,MeV.

title: Spectral measurement of electron antineutrino oscillation amplitude and frequency at Daya Bay.
abstract: A measurement of the energy dependence of antineutrino disappearance at the Daya Bay reactor neutrino experiment is reported. Electron antineutrinos (ν¯(e)) from six 2.9  GW(th) reactors were detected with six detectors deployed in two near (effective baselines 512 and 561 m) and one far (1579 m) underground experimental halls. Using 217 days of data, 41 589 (203 809 and 92 912) antineutrino candidates were detected in the far hall (near halls). An improved measurement of the oscillation amplitude sin(2)2θ(13)=0.090(-0.009)(+0.008) and the first direct measurement of the ν¯(e) mass-squared difference |Δm(ee)2|=(2.59(-0.20)(+0.19))×10(-3)  eV2 is obtained using the observed ν¯(e) rates and energy spectra in a three-neutrino framework. This value of |Δm(ee)2| is consistent with |Δm(μμ)2| measured by muon neutrino disappearance, supporting the three-flavor oscillation model.

title: Search for a light sterile neutrino at Daya Bay.
abstract: A search for light sterile neutrino mixing was performed with the first 217 days of data from the Daya Bay Reactor Antineutrino Experiment. The experiment's unique configuration of multiple baselines from six 2.9 GW(th) nuclear reactors to six antineutrino detectors deployed in two near (effective baselines 512 m and 561 m) and one far (1579 m) underground experimental halls makes it possible to test for oscillations to a fourth (sterile) neutrino in the 10(-3) eV(2)<|Δm(41)(2) |< 0.3 eV(2) range. The relative spectral distortion due to the disappearance of electron antineutrinos was found to be consistent with that of the three-flavor oscillation model. The derived limits on sin(2) 2θ(14) cover the 10(-3) eV(2) ≲ |Δm(41)(2)| ≲ 0.1 eV(2) region, which was largely unexplored.

title: The Goldstino field in linear and nonlinear realizations of supersymmetry
abstract: A Goldstino field in the nonlinear realization of supersymmetry is constructed from an appropriate chiral super-multiplet of the linear theory, in general O'Raifeartaigh-like models. The linear theories can thus be reformulated into their nonlinear versions, via the standard procedure. The Goldstino field disappears totally from the original Lagrangian in the process, but reemerges in the Jacobian of the transformation and covariant derivatives. Vertices with Goldstino fields carry at least one space–time derivative, as one would have expected.

title: Gauge-singlet dark matter in a left-right symmetric model with spontaneous CP violation
abstract: We propose a dark matter (DM) scenario in an extension of a left-right symmetric model with a gauge-singlet scalar field. The gauge-singlet scalar can automatically become a DM candidate, provided that both P and CP symmetries are only broken spontaneously. Thus no extra discrete symmetries are needed to make the DM candidate stable. After constraining the model parameters from the observed relic DM density we make predictions for direct detection experiments. We show that for some parameter range, the predicted weakly interacting massive particle-nucleon elastic scattering cross section can reach the current experimental upper bound, which can be tested by the experiments in the near future.

title: Higgs boson production in photon-photon collision at ILC: a comparative study in different little Higgs models
abstract: We study the process $ \gamma \gamma \to h \to b\bar b $ at ILC as a probe of different little Higgs models, including the simplest little Higgs model (SLH), the littlest Higgs model (LH), and two types of littlest Higgs models with T-parity (LHT-I, LHT-II). Compared with the Standard Model (SM) prediction, the production rate is found to be sizably altered in these little Higgs models and, more interestingly, different models give different predictions. We find that the production rate can be possibly enhanced only in the LHT-II for some part of the parameter space, while in all other cases the rate is suppressed. The suppression can be 10% in the LH and as much as 60% in both the SLH and the LHT-I/LHT-II. The severe suppression in the SLH happens for a large tan β and a small mh, in which the new decay mode h → ηη (η is a light pseudo-scalar) is dominant; while for the LHT-I/LHT-II the large suppression occurs when f and mh are both small so that the new decay mode h → AHAH is dominant. Therefore, the precision measurement of such a production process at the ILC will allow for a test of these models and even distinguish between different scenarios.

title: Higgs boson decays and production via gluon fusion at LHC in littlest Higgs models with T-parity
abstract: We study the Higgs boson decays and production via gluon fusion at the LHC as a probe of two typical littlest Higgs models which introduce a top quark partner with different (even and odd) T parity to cancel the Higgs mass quadratic divergence contributed by the top quark. For each model, we consider two different choices for the down-type quark Yukawa couplings. We first examine the branching ratios of the Higgs boson decays and then study the production via gluon fusion followed by the decay into two photons or two weak gauge bosons. We find that the predictions can be quite different for different models or different choices of down-type quark Yukawa couplings, and all these predictions can sizably deviate from the standard model predictions. So the Higgs boson processes at the LHC can be a sensitive probe for these littlest Higgs models.

title: Two Higgs bidoublet model with spontaneous P and CP violation and decoupling limit to the two Higgs doublet model
abstract: The two Higgs bidoublet left-right symmetric model (2HBDM) as a simple extension of the minimal left-right symmetric model with a single Higgs bidoublet is motivated to realize both spontaneous parity (P) violation and charge conjugation and parity (CP) violation while consistent with the low-energy phenomenology without significant fine-tuning. By carefully investigating the Higgs potential of the model, we find that sizable CP-violating phases are allowed after the spontaneous symmetry breaking. The mass spectra of the extra scalars in the 2HBDM are significantly different from the ones in the minimal left-right symmetric model. In particular, we demonstrate in the decoupling limit when the right-handed gauge-symmetry-breaking scale is much higher than the electroweak scale, the 2HBDM decouples into the general two Higgs doublet model with spontaneous CP violation and has rich induced sources of CP violation. We show that in the decoupling limit, it contains extra light Higgs bosons with masses around electroweak scale, which can be directly searched at the ongoing LHC and future International Linear Collider experiments.
