Resonant Landau-Zener conversion in multi-axion systems / Dunsky, David I. (New York U., CCPP) ; Manzari, Claudio Andrea (UC, Berkeley ; LBL, Berkeley) ; Quílez, Pablo (UC, San Diego ; CERN) ; Ramos, Maria (CERN) ; Sørensen, Philip (U. Padua, Dept. Phys. Astron. ; INFN, Padua)
Multiple axions may emerge in the low-energy effective theory of Nature. Generically, the potentials describing these axion fields are non-diagonal, leading to mass mixing between axion states which can be temperature-dependent due to QCD instanton effects. [...]

Three-loop corrections to $gg\to ZH$ in the large top quark mass limit / Davies, Joshua (U. Liverpool (main)) ; Grau, Dominik (KIT, Karlsruhe) ; Schönwald, Kay (Zurich U.) ; Steinhauser, Matthias (KIT, Karlsruhe) ; Stremmer, Daniel (KIT, Karlsruhe)
We compute three-loop virtual corrections to the associated production of a Higgs boson with a $Z$ boson in the large-$m_t$ limit. We describe in detail the application of the asymptotic expansion and provide, for all form factors, analytic results for the first three terms in the $1/m_t$ expansion. [...]

The quark jet function for $k_T$-like variables in NNLO QCD / Buonocore, Luca (CERN) ; Grazzini, Massimiliano (Zurich U.) ; Guadagni, Flavio (Zurich U.) ; Haag, Jürg (U. Bern, AEC) ; Rottoli, Luca (Milan Bicocca U. ; INFN, Milan Bicocca)
The precise description of jet processes requires observables capable of efficiently capturing the dynamics of the energy flow in hadronic final states. We consider a class of tranverse-momentum like resolution variables that smoothly describe the $n+1$ to $n$ jet transition in multi-jet processes. [...]

Fast and Flexible Neutrino Decoupling Part I: The Standard Model / Escudero, M. (CERN) ; Jackson, G. (SUBATECH, Nantes) ; Laine, M. (U. Bern (main)) ; Sandner, S. (Los Alamos)
Cosmological determinations of the number of relativistic neutrino species, $N^{ }_{\rm eff}$, are becoming increasingly accurate, and further improvements are expected both from CMB and BBN data. Given this context, we update the evaluation of $N^{ }_{\rm eff}$ and the current entropy density via the momentum-averaged approach. [...]

Near-extremal membranes in M-theory / Buchel, Alex (Western Ontario U.) ; Monten, Ruben (CERN)
We consider near-extremal membranes embedded in M-theory, consistently truncated to gauged $\mathcal{N} = 2$ supergravity in four dimensions on the coset space $M^{1,1,0}$. These are holographically dual to $2 + 1$ dimensional superconformal gauge theory with $U(1)_R \times U(1)_B$ global symmetry. [...]

Towards a topological data analysis for heavy-ion collisions / Capellino, Federica (Darmstadt, GSI) ; Dubla, Andrea (Darmstadt, GSI) ; Masciocchi, Silvia (Darmstadt, GSI ; Heidelberg U.) ; Nijs, Govert (CERN) ; Spitz, Daniel (Leipzig, Max Planck Inst.)
The collective expansion of the quark-gluon plasma (QGP) created in heavy-ion collisions suggests that geometry-inspired approaches can be useful in extracting information about the QGP. In this work, a systematic study of observables based on topological data analysis is provided for simulations of heavy-ion collisions. [...]

Can galactic magnetic fields diffuse into the voids? / Ghosh, Oindrila (Stockholm U., OKC) ; Brandenburg, Axel (Royal Inst. Tech., Stockholm ; Stockholm U., OKC ; Carnegie Mellon U. ; Ilia State U.) ; Caprini, Chiara (CERN ; U. Geneva (main)) ; Neronov, Andrii (APC, Paris ; LASTRO Observ.) ; Vazza, Franco (U. Bologna, DIFA)
Cosmic voids are magnetized at the level of at least $10^{-17}$ G on Mpc scales, as implied by blazar observations. We show that an electrically conducting plasma is present in the voids, and that, because of the plasma, \emph{diffusion} into the voids of galactic fields generated by a mean-field dynamo is far too slow to explain the present-day void magnetization.

NLO analysis of the subleading-power $Q_1-Q_{7\gamma}$ interference in $\bar{B}\to X_s\gamma$ at large photon energies / Bartocci, Riccardo (Mainz U.) ; Böer, Philipp (CERN) ; Hurth, Tobias (Mainz U.)
We report on progress towards including next-to-leading order (NLO) radiative corrections to the subleading-power factorization formula for the $Q_1^{q}-Q_{7γ}$ interference contribution in $\bar{B}\to X_sγ$ at large photon energies, $m_b - 2E_γ= \mathcal{O}(Λ_{\rm QCD})$. The novel ingredients for a NLO analysis are the one-loop anomalous dimension of the subleading shape function $g_{17}(ω,ω_1;μ)$, which was recently computed by us, and the two-loop corrections to the jet function with an internal charm loop. [...]

Effects of Radiative Corrections on Starobinsky Inflation / Ellis, John (King's Coll. London ; CERN) ; Gherghetta, Tony (U. Minnesota, Minneapolis (main)) ; Kaneta, Kunio (Niigata U. (main)) ; Ke, Wenqi (U. Minnesota, Minneapolis (main)) ; Olive, Keith A. (U. Minnesota, Minneapolis (main))
We analyze radiative corrections to the Starobinsky model of inflation arising from self-interactions of the inflaton, and from its Yukawa couplings, $y$, to matter fermions, and dimensionful trilinear couplings, $κ$, to scalar fields, which could be responsible for reheating the Universe after inflation. The inflaton self-interactions are found to be of higher order in the Hubble expansion rate during inflation, and hence unimportant for CMB observations. [...]

Massive Feynman integrals at high energies: recent analytic results / Zhang, Hantian (CERN)
The high-energy behaviour of scattering amplitudes involving massive particles has attracted interest in recent years. In these proceedings, we report on the analytic tool AsyInt for solving massive multi-loop Feynman integrals in the high-energy limit, which are fundamental building blocks for such amplitudes in the full Standard Model.
