Maximal $CP$ violation in the Higgs Sector and its Effect on the $ρ$ Parameter

Abstract

We study the conditions of maximal $CP$ violation in the neutral Higgs mass matrix of the two Higgs doublet model. We get fixed values of $\tan\b$ and constraints on the Higgs potential parameters. Two neutral Higgs scalars are constrained to be lighter than the charged Higgs scalar and these two Higgs scalars are expected to be almost degenerate due to the smallness of the $h$ parameter, where $h$ is the CP violating coupling constant of the Higgs interaction. The radiative correction of the $ρ$ parameter from the Higgs scalar exchange is rather small and its sign negative for a wide range of Higgs masses. It follows that maximum $CP$ violation in the two Higgs doublet model is safely allowed for the $ρ$ parameter without the custodial symmetry.

Pomeron Weights in QCD Processes at High Energy and the $S$-Matrix Unitarity Constraint

The pomeron topological cross-section is derived for the eikonal and the $U$-matrix unitarization schemes using a generalized representation of the scattering amplitude at high energy in an effort to examine pomeron characteristics, namely the multiplicity distribution, fluctuation, and correlation, and to reveal the impact of pomeron weights on the $pp$ multiplicity distribution. The results demonstrate that the $U$-matrix inherently incorporates a larger amount of diffraction production into the multi-pomeron vertices, yielding a larger pomerons' variability regardless of the energy range, while such fluctuations become significant only beyond a specific high-energy threshold in eikonal-like schemes. Most importantly, our findings indicate that within the $U$-matrix scheme, an increase in exchanged pomerons results in more pronounced pomeron correlations and that this correlated resummation plays a key role in enhancing multi-parton collisions. We argue that the choice of unitarization scheme is not arbitrary, as it directly dictates the statistical structure of multi-reggeon exchanges. By reflecting the composite nature of hadrons, rational alternatives to eikonal-like schemes, such as the $U$-matrix, offer a compelling theoretical foundation for modeling high-energy hadronic collisions, provided that specific formulations can be identified that strictly satisfy all mathematical and physical constraints.

Two-loop renormalisation of quark and gluon fields in the SMEFT

We compute the contributions of CP-conserving operators in the dimension-six SMEFT to the two-loop renormalisation constants of quark and gluon fields in the $\overline{\textrm{MS}}$-scheme. Specifically, we consider the top-quark chromomagnetic operator and the triple gluon operator. We work with the background-field method, which allows us to extract the contribution of these operators to the two-loop running of the top mass and the strong coupling constant. We discuss in detail the mixing with the unphysical operators required for the renormalisation, and we present analytic results for the renormalisation constants of all relevant operators.

Two-loop renormalisation of quark and gluon fields in the SMEFT in the on-shell scheme

We compute the contributions of CP-conserving dimension-six SMEFT operators to the two-loop renormalisation constants of quark and gluon fields in the on-shell scheme. Specifically, we consider the top-quark chromomagnetic operator and the triple gluon operator. We also compute the contribution of four-quark operators to the gluon renormalisation constant and discuss the implications for the running of the strong coupling constant.
