The Late Devonian was a protracted period of low speciation resulting in biodiversity decline, culminating in extinction events near the Devonian-Carboniferous boundary. Recent evidence indicates that the final extinction event may have coincided with a dramatic drop in stratospheric ozone, possibly due to a global temperature rise. [...]

On the new LHCb angular analysis of $B \to K^* \mu^+ \mu^-$: Hadronic effects or New Physics?
/ Hurth, T. (U. Mainz, PRISMA) ; Mahmoudi, F. (IP2I, Lyon ; CERN ; IUF, Paris) ; Neshatpour, S. (IP2I, Lyon)
The new angular analysis of the decay $B \to K^* \ell^+ \ell^-$ recently presented by the LHCb Collaboration still indicates some tensions with the Standard Model predictions. There are several ongoing analyses to solve the problem of separating hadronic and New Physics effects in this decay, but the significance of the observed tensions in the angular observables in $B \to K^* \mu^+\mu^-$ is still dependent on a theory guesstimate of the hadronic contributions to these decays. [...]

Phenomenology of NNLO jet production at the LHC and its impact on parton distributions

(Nikhef, Amsterdam) ; Pires, Joao (CMAF, Lisbon) ; Rojo, Juan (Vrije U., Amsterdam ; Nikhef, Amsterdam) et al.
We present a systematic investigation of jet production at hadron colliders from a phenomenological point of view, with the dual aim of providing a validation of theoretical calculations and guidance to future determinations of parton distributions (PDFs). We account for all available inclusive jet and dijet production measurements from ATLAS and CMS at 7 and 8 TeV by including them in a global PDF determination, and comparing to theoretical predictions at NNLO QCD supplemented by electroweak (EW) corrections.

Stellar Signatures of Inhomogeneous Big Bang Nucleosynthesis
/ Arbey, Alexandre (IP2I, Lyon ; CERN ; IUF, Paris) ; Auffinger, Jérémy (IP2I, Lyon) ; Silk, Joseph (Paris, Inst. Astrophys. ; Johns Hopkins U. ; Oxford U.)
We evaluate abundance anomalies generated in patches of the universe where the baryon-to-photon ratio was locally enhanced by possibly many orders of magnitude in the range $\eta = 10^{-10} - 10^{-1}$. Our study is motivated by the possible survival of rare dense regions in the early universe, the most extreme of which, above a critical threshold, collapsed to form primordial black holes. [...]

NLO QCD+EW predictions for $tHj$ and $tZj$ production at the LHC
/ Pagani, Davide (DESY) ; Tsinikos, Ioannis (Lund U., Dept. Theor. Phys.) ; Vryonidou, Eleni (CERN)
In this work we calculate the cross sections for the hadroproduction of a single top quark or antiquark in association with a Higgs ($tHj$) or $Z$ boson ($tZj$) at NLO QCD+EW accuracy. In the case of $tZj$ production we consider both the case of the $Z$ boson undecayed and the complete final state $t \ell^+ \ell^- j$, including off-shell and non-resonant effects. [...]

Spontaneous Baryogenesis from Axions with Generic Couplings
/ Domcke, Valerie (DESY ; CERN ; EPFL, Lausanne, LPPC) ; Ema, Yohei (DESY) ; Mukaida, Kyohei (DESY) ; Yamada, Masaki (Tohoku U. (main) ; Tohoku U.)
Axion-like particles can source the baryon asymmetry of our Universe through spontaneous baryogenesis. Here we clarify that this is a generic outcome for essentially any coupling of an axion-like particle to the Standard Model, requiring only a non-zero velocity of the classical axion field while baryon or lepton number violating interactions are present in thermal bath.

Supercritical string cosmology drains the swampland
/ Ellis, John (King's Coll. London ; CERN ; NICPB, Tallinn) ; Mavromatos, Nick E. (King's Coll. London) ; Nanopoulos, D.V. (Texas A-M ; HARC, Woodlands ; Athens Academy)
The First and Second Swampland Conjectures (FSC & SSC) are substantially modified in non-critical string cosmology, in which cosmic time is identified with the time-like Liouville mode of the supercritical string. In this scenario the Friedmann equation receives additional contributions due to the non-criticality of the string. [...]

The Clockwork Standard Model
/ Kang, Yoo-Jin (Chung-Ang U.) ; Kim, Soonbin (Chung-Ang U.) ; Lee, Hyun Min (Chung-Ang U. ; CERN)
We consider various bulk fields with general dilaton couplings in the linear dilaton background in five dimensions as the continuum limit of clockwork models. We show that the localization of the zero modes of bulk fields and the mass gap in the KK spectrum depend not only on the bulk dilaton coupling, but also on the bulk mass parameter in the case of a bulk fermion.

Heavy quark diffusion in an overoccupied gluon plasma
/ Boguslavski, K. (Vienna, Tech. U.) ; Kurkela, A. (CERN ; Stavanger U.) ; Lappi, T. (Jyvaskyla U. ; Helsinki U.) ; Peuron, J. (ECT, Trento ; Fond. Bruno Kessler, Trento)
We extract the heavy-quark diffusion coefficient \kappa and the resulting momentum broadening <p^2> in a far-from-equilibrium non-Abelian plasma. We find several features in the time dependence of the momentum broadening: a short initial rapid growth of <p^2>, followed by linear growth with time due to Langevin-type dynamics and damped oscillations around this growth at the plasmon frequency. [...]
