Boosted dark matter provides a promising approach to probe the light dark matter, whose computational framework in the spin-independent scattering process is well developed. However, the spin-dependent one lacks a unified treatment. The…

We present our recent results for the pion elastic form factor [1] obtained within a local-duality three-point sum rule (a Borel sum rule in the limit of an infinite Borel parameter). Our analysis includes the O(1) and O(\alpha_s)…

From soft-collinear effective theory one can derive a factorization formula for the e+e- thrust distribution dsigma/dtau with tau = 1-T that is applicable for all tau. The formula accommodates available O(alpha_s^3) fixed-order QCD results,…
We propose a new solution to the strong-CP problem. It involves the existence of an unbroken gauged $U(1)_X$ symmetry whose gauge boson gets a Stuckelberg mass term by combining with a pseudoscalar field $\eta (x)$. The latter has…
The two-loop Sudakov form factor is computed in a U(1) model with a massive gauge boson and a $U(1)\times U(1)$ model with mass gap. We analyze the result in the context of hard and infrared evolution equations and establish a matching…
In this work, a novel mechanism for spontaneous symmetry breaking is presented. This mechanism avoids quadratic divergencies and is thus capable of addressing the hierarchy problem in gauge theories. Using the scale-dependent effective…
