The discovery of Higgs particle has ushered in a new era of particle physics. Even though the list of members of the standard theory of particle physics is now complete, the shortcomings of the theory became ever more acute. It is generally considered that the best solution to the problems is an electron–positron collider that can study Higgs parti...

... Superconducting radio frequency (SRF) cavities are widely used in particle accelerators due to their lower wall losses and higher accelerating gradients as compared to normal conducting cavities [1]. In many large accelerator projects such as the international linear collider [2], the next-generation light source (e.g., Linac Coherent Light Source (LCLSII) [3], European X-Ray Free-Electron Laser Facility (E-XFEL) [4] and Subcritical Hybrid Intense Neutron Emitter (SHINE) [5]), China Spallation Neutron Source (CSNS-II) [6], China initiative Accelerator Driven System (CiADS) [7], compact energy recovery linac (cERL) [8], and Chinese Accelerator Driven System Front-end (CAFe) [9] SRF cavities are used. The SRF cavity is a vital part of modern accelerators and the stability of the accelerating field inside the cavities is very important for the desired parameters of charged particle beams. ...

The use of Disturbance Observer-based (DOB) control is widespread in stabilizing the electromagnetic field in superconducting radio frequency cavities to facilitate beam acceleration in particle accelerators. Repetitive disturbances such as beam loading and Lorentz force cavity detuning are compensated by DOB control, and their suppression is enhanced through the incorporation of a learning scheme into the conventional disturbance observer. This paper evaluated the performance of a learning-based disturbance observer for compensating beam loading and cavity detuning in pulsed superconducting radio frequency cavities and proposes modifications for better field stability. A superconducting cavity baseband model for π-mode was simulated in Matlab/Simulink with a trapezoidal beam pulse as the input disturbance and different cavity detuning values to analyze the controllers’ performance. The simulations were conducted for multiple observer filter bandwidths to evaluate the performance of the learning-based disturbance observer under plant model uncertainties and different detuning values. The results demonstrate that the learning-based disturbance observer yields faster convergence to the reference input and lower tracking errors during the flat top of pulse voltage in comparison to conventional disturbance observer control.

We consider a classically conformal $U(1)$ gauge extension of the Standard Model (SM), in which the $U(1)$ gauge symmetry is radiatively broken by the Coleman-Weinberg mechanism. This breaking triggers the electroweak (EW) symmetry breaking through a mixed quartic coupling between the $U(1)$ Higgs field and the SM Higgs doublet. For two Higgs boson mass eigenstates after the symmetry breaking, $h_1$ (SM-like Higgs boson) and $h_2$ (SM singlet-like Higgs boson), we calculate the Higgs boson trilinear coupling ($g_{h_{1} h_{2} h_{2}}$) in the model by setting the Higgs boson mass spectrum to be $M_{h_1} > 2 M_{h_2}$. For a common Higgs mass spectrum and mixing angle between two Higgs fields, we find that $g_{h_{1} h_{2} h_{2}}$ in the classically conformal model is highly suppressed compared to that calculated for the conventional Higgs potential, where the $U(1)$ and EW symmetry breaking originate from the negative squared masses for the Higgs fields at the tree-level. Thus, this coupling suppression is a striking nature of the radiative origin of EW symmetry breaking. We then consider how to distinguish this origin at the proposed International Linear Collider (ILC) via precise measurements of anomalous SM Higgs boson couplings and the search for anomalous SM Higgs boson decay $h_1 \rightarrow h_2 h_2$ followed by $h_2 \to b \bar{b}$. We conclude that once the anomalous couplings are measured at the ILC, the observation of the anomalous Higgs boson decay is promising in the conventional Higgs potential, while this decay process is highly suppressed and undetectable for the classically conformal model.

Joint energy distribution of the bottom quark and antiquark from decays of the top quark and antiquark produced in the reaction $e^+ e^- \to t \bar{t}$ is studied. Main emphasis is put on $CP$-violation effects in the interaction of the photon and $Z$ boson with the top quarks. Energy asymmetries of $b$ and $\bar{b}$ quarks, which give access to the $CP$-violating terms, are considered. To estimate the magnitude of these asymmetries, the $CP$-violating $\gamma t \bar{t} $ and $Z t \bar{t}$ couplings are calculated in one-loop model with exchange of the Higgs boson. Interaction of this boson with the top quarks is assumed to include scalar and pseudoscalar couplings. Values of these couplings are constrained from the recent CMS analysis. Energy dependence of the asymmetries of $b$ and $\bar{b}$ quarks is calculated up to $\sqrt{s}=1.2$ TeV and some interesting features of their behavior are observed. These observables can be of interest for future studies at electron$-$positron colliders CLIC and ILC.

Предложена аналитическая аппроксимация для определения распределения неупругих потерь энергии заряженных фрагментов ядерных реакций в столкновении протонов, гамма-квантов и электронов с ядром кремния. Показано, что в диапазоне энергии 3–10 ГэВ влияние процесса адронизации на это распределение для вторичных тяжелых ионов возрастает с увеличением энергии падающего излучения. Сильная асимметрия рассчитанного распределения при столкновениях с релятивистскими электронами указывает на передачу импульса только небольшому фрагменту ядра.
