This biennial review summarizes much of Particle Physics. Using data from previous editions, plus 1900 new measurements 700 papers, we list, evaluate, and average measured properties gauge bosons, leptons, quarks, mesons, baryons. We also summarize searches for hypothetical particles such as Higgs heavy neutrinos, supersymmetric particles. All the particle search limits are listed in Summary Tables. give numerous tables, figures, formulae, reviews topics Standard Model, detectors,...

We analyze the phase diagram of QCD with two massless quark flavors in space temperature $T$ and chemical potential baryon charge \ensuremath{\mu} using available experimental knowledge QCD, insights gained from various models, as well general model independent arguments including continuity, universality, thermodynamic relations. A random matrix is used to describe chiral symmetry restoration transition at finite \ensuremath{\mu}. In agreement arguments, this predicts a tricritical point...

This paper describes the physics case for a new fixed target facility at CERN SPS. The SHiP (Search Hidden Particles) experiment is intended to hunt in largely unexplored domain of very weakly interacting particles with masses below Fermi scale, inaccessible LHC experiments, and study tau neutrino physics. same proton beam setup can be used later look decays tau-leptons lepton flavour number non-conservation, $\tau\to 3\mu$ search weakly-interacting sub-GeV dark matter candidates.

We analyze the circumstances under which violations of an approximate symmetry in a unified gauge theory weak interactions are naturally suppressed; particular, we investigate muon- and electron-type lepton-number conservation as example such symmetry. Extending earlier work, propose treatment this together with strangeness by neutral current $\mathrm{CP}$ invariance. The rate for decay $\ensuremath{\mu}\ensuremath{\rightarrow}e\ensuremath{\gamma}$ is calculated general SU(2)...

A massive Dirac neutrino has a magnetic moment, which causes its spin to precess in field. This reduces the effective weak cross sections for relativistic neutrinos. An estimate on basis of phenomenological considerations as well standard electroweak theory indicates that neutrinos from supernovae and neutron stars may contain significant mixtures negative- positive-helicity states.

Abstract The existence of nonzero neutrino masses points to the likely multiple Standard Model neutral fermions. When such states are heavy enough that they cannot be produced in oscillations, referred as leptons (HNLs). In this white paper, we discuss present experimental status HNLs including colliders, beta decay, accelerators, well astrophysical and cosmological impacts. We importance continuing search for HNLs, its potential impact on our understanding key fundamental questions,...

We study the phase transition in nonlinear $O(N)$ $\ensuremath{\sigma}$ model $2+\ensuremath{\epsilon}$ dimensions. Our analysis is of continuum theory and does not rely upon artifice a lattice. This occurs at critical value coupling constant ${\ensuremath{\lambda}}_{c}$, which an ultraviolet-stable fixed point renormalization group.

The analysis is based a recent generalized Cabibbo fit and constraints predicted values ${K}_{L}\ensuremath{-}{K}_{S}$ mass difference $\mathrm{CP}$-nonconservation parameter $\ensuremath{\epsilon}$.

We show that the chiral-limit vacuum quark condensate is qualitatively equivalent to pseudoscalar meson leptonic decay constant in sense they are both obtained as value of well-defined gauge-invariant hadron-to-vacuum transition amplitudes possess a spectral representation terms current-quark mass. Thus, whereas it might sometimes be convenient imagine otherwise, neither essentially mass-scale fills all spacetime. This means, particular, can understood property hadrons themselves, which...

Dynamical chiral symmetry breaking and its connection with the generation of hadron masses has historically been viewed as a vacuum phenomenon. We argue that confinement makes such position untenable. If quark-hadron duality is reality in QCD, then condensates, those quantities were commonly constant empirical mass-scales fill all spacetime, are instead wholly contained within hadrons; viz., they property hadrons themselves expressed, e.g., their Bethe-Salpeter or light-front wave functions....
