Gauge invariant Barr-Zee type contributions to fermionic EDMs in the two-Higgs doublet models
A bstractWe calculate all gauge invariant Barr-Zee type contributions to fermionic electric dipole moments (EDMs) in the two-Higgs doublet models (2HDM) with softly broken Z2 symmetry. We start by studying the tensor structure of h → VV′ part in the Barr-Zee diagrams, and we calculate the effective couplings in a gauge invariant way by using the pinch technique. Then we calculate all Barr-Zee diagrams relevant for electron and neutron EDMs. We make bounds on the parameter space in type-I, type-II, type-X, and type-Y 2HDMs. The electron and neutron EDMs are complementary to each other in discrimination of the 2HDMs. Type-II and type-X 2HDMs are strongly constrained by recent ACME experiment’s result, and future experiments of electron and neutron EDMs may search $ \mathcal{O} $(10) TeV physics.

Minimal dilaton model
Both the ATLAS and CMS experiments at the LHC have reported the observation of the particle of mass around 125 GeV which is consistent to the Standard Model (SM) Higgs boson, but with an excess of events beyond the SM expectation in the diphoton decay channel at each of them. There still remains room for a logical possibility that we are not seeing the SM Higgs but something else. Here we introduce the minimal dilaton model in which the LHC signals are explained by an extra singlet scalar of the mass around 125 GeV that slightly mixes with the SM Higgs heavier than 600 GeV. When this scalar has a vacuum expectation value well beyond the electroweak scale, it can be identified as a linearly realized version of a dilaton field. Though the current experimental constraints from the Higgs search disfavors such a region, the singlet scalar model itself still provides a viable alternative to the SM Higgs in interpreting its search results.

The Flavor Structure of the Three-Site Higgsless Model
We study the flavor structure of the three-site Higgsless model and evaluate the constraints on the model arising from flavor physics. We find that current data constrain the model to exhibit only minimal flavor violation at tree level. Moreover, at the one-loop level, by studying the leading chiral logarithmic corrections to chirality-preserving Delta F = 1 and Delta F = 2 processes from new physics in the model, we show that the combination of minimal flavor violation and ideal delocalization ensures that these flavor-changing effects are sufficiently small that the model remains phenomenologically viable.

Phenomenology of Partially Composite Standard Model
We propose a model to describe the low energy physics of partially composite Standard Model, in which the electroweak sector in the Standard Model is weakly coupled to some strong dynamics. The vector resonances in the strong sector are introduced as the effective degrees of freedom, W' and Z', which mixes with the W and Z bosons through the electroweak symmetry breaking. Through the coupling to the strong sector, the Standard Model Higgs boson becomes partially composite, and its properties are modified. We study the constraints from the electroweak precision data and direct searches of W' and Z' at the LHC expriments, and discuss the effects on the production/decay properties of the Higgs boson.

Probing LHC Higgs Signals from Extended Electroweak Gauge Group
We study the effects of the extended electroweak gauge sector on the signal strengths of the Higgs boson at the LHC. Extension of the Higgs sector associate with the extension of the electroweak gauge symmetry. In our setup, there are two neutral Higgs states ($h$, $H$) and three new gauge bosons ($W'^{\pm}$, $Z'$). We assume the lightest scalar, $h$, is what LHC found and its mass is 125 GeV. We find the enhancement of $\mu(gg \to h \to \gamma \gamma)$. On the other hand, other decay processes are same as or smaller than the SM expectation.

Drell-Yan production ofZ′in the three-site Higgsless model at the LHC
In the Higgsless models, there are extra gauge bosons which keep the perturbative unitarity of a longitudinally polarized gauge boson. The three-site Higgsless model is a minimal Higgsless model and contains three extra gauge bosons, $W^{\prime \pm}$ and Z'. In this paper, we report the discovery potential of the Z' gauge boson via Drell-Yan production with Z'(mass=380, 500, 600 GeV) $\rightarrow WW \rightarrow \ell\nu qq$ ($\ell=e$, $\mu$) at the LHC ($\sqrt{s}$=14 TeV).

High gradient test at Nextef and high-power long-term operation of devices
Abstract The X-band high gradient studies at Nextef, the 100 MW X-Band test station in KEK operated since 2008, is reviewed. Recent high power test results of TD18#2, an 18-cell CLIC prototype structure with HOM damping slots, are given. The measured breakdown rate is ∼10 −5 /pulse/m under the operation at 100 MV/m gradient with 250 ns rf pulse width. The rate is higher by one- to two-order compared with that of the T18 structure, which is a disk loaded structure without the HOM slots. The recent performance of the station is also reviewed, especially that of PPM klystrons is discussed. An overview of our on-going programs such as the pulse compression system of Nextef as well as the future plans of X-band study is given.

Efficient computation of Hamiltonian matrix elements between non-orthogonal Slater determinants
Abstract We present an efficient numerical method for computing Hamiltonian matrix elements between non-orthogonal Slater determinants, focusing on the most time-consuming component of the calculation that involves a sparse array. In the usual case where many matrix elements should be calculated, this computation can be transformed into a multiplication of dense matrices. It is demonstrated that the present method based on the matrix–matrix multiplication attains ∼80% of the theoretical peak performance measured on systems equipped with modern microprocessors, a factor of 5–10 better than the normal method using indirectly indexed arrays to treat a sparse array. The reason for such different performances is discussed from the viewpoint of memory access.

CSR in the SuperKEKB Damping Ring
Coherent synchrotron radiation (CSR) is generated when a bunched beam traverses a dipole magnet or a wiggler/undulator. It can degrade the beam quality in both storage rings and linacs through enhancing the beam energy spread and lengthening the bunch length, even cause single-bunch microwave instabilities. Using several methods, CSR impedances in the positron damping ring (DR) of the SuperKEKB which is under design were calculated. From the impedances due to CSR, resistive wall and various vacuum components, quasi-Green function wake potentials were constructed and used in simulations of Particle-In-Cell (PIC) tracking. We present the CSR related results in this paper.

ARES Upgrade for Super-KEKB
ARES is a normal-conducting RF accelerating cavity system for KEKB, which has been successfully operated to store the high-current beams. Aiming at luminosity frontiers beyond 10cms, an upgrade project toward Super-KEKB is being proposed, where about four times more beam currents are to be stored and supported by the RF system. In this report, upgrade items relevant to the ARES system are reviewed and discussed.
