Leptoquarks (LQs) have attracted increasing attention within recent years, mainly since they can explain the flavor anomalies found in R(D(⁎)), b→sℓ+ℓ− transitions and the anomalous magnetic moment of the muon. In this article, we lay the groundwork for further automated analyses by presenting the complete Lagrangian and the corresponding set of Feynman rules for scalar leptoquarks. This means we consider the five representations Φ1,Φ1˜,Φ2,Φ2˜ and Φ3 and include the triple and quartic self-interactions, as well as couplings to the Standard Model (SM) fermions, gauge bosons and the Higgs. The calculations are performed using FeynRules and all model files are publicly available online at https://gitlab.com/lucschnell/SLQrules. Program Title: SLQrules CPC Library link to program files:https://doi.org/10.17632/sf8s89rhmv.1 Developer's repository link:https://gitlab.com/lucschnell/SLQrules Licensing provisions: CC By 4.0 Programming language: Mathematica, FeynRules Nature of problem: In order to explain the deviations from SM predictions in R(D(⁎)), b→ℓ+ℓ− transitions and the muon AMM jointly, models involving multiple LQ representations are necessary. This significantly increases the number of possible interactions and creates the need for computational tools that allow for studying the phenomenology of these LQ models in an automated manner. While model files exist for each LQ representation individually [1], we are not aware of any publicly available model files that combine all scalar LQ representations as well as their self-interactions. Solution method: We implemented the complete scalar LQ Lagrangian in a FeynRules [2] model file and provide the corresponding MOD and UFO model files. These can be imported directly in FeynArts [3] and MadGraph [4] to obtain a versatile toolbox for the study of scalar LQs. [1]I. Doršner, A. Greljo, J. High Energy Phys. 05 (2018) 1-21.[2]A.

Leptoquarks (LQs) have attracted increasing attention within recent years, mainly since they can explain the flavor anomalies found in $R(D^{(*)})$, $b \rightarrow s \ell^+ \ell^-$ transitions and the anomalous magnetic moment of the muon. In this article, we lay the groundwork for further automated analyses by presenting the complete Lagrangian and the corresponding set of Feynman rules for scalar leptoquarks. This means we consider the five representations $\Phi_1, \Phi_{\tilde1}, \Phi_2, \Phi_{\tilde2}$ and $\Phi_3$ and include the triple and quartic self-interactions, as well as couplings to the Standard Model (SM) fermions, gauge bosons and the Higgs.

We present a new module of micrOMEGAs devoted to the computation of indirect signals from dark matter annihilation in any new model with a stable weakly interacting particle. The code provides the mass spectrum, cross-sections, relic density and exotic fluxes of gamma rays, positrons and antiprotons. The propagation of charged particles in the Galactic halo is handled with a new module that allows to easily modify the propagation parameters. 24 pages, 6 figures, typos corrected, acknowledgements modified International audience

We discuss the possibility that the X(3872) can be a $D\bar{D}^*$ molecular bound state in the Bethe-Salpeter equation approach in the ladder and instantaneous approximations. We show that the $D\bar{D}^*$ bound state with quantum numbers $J^{PC}=1^{++}$ exists. We also calculate the decay width of $X(3872) \rightarrow \gamma J/\psi$ channel and compare our result with those from previous calculations. Comment: 18pages,4 figures

In this paper we describe a HepML format and a corresponding C++ library developed for keeping complete description of parton level events in a unified and flexible form. HepML tags contain enough information to understand what kind of physics the simulated events describe and how the events have been prepared. A HepML block can be included into event files in the LHEF format. The structure of the HepML block is described by means of several XML Schemas. The Schemas define necessary information for the HepML block and how this information should be located within the block. The library libhepml is a C++ library intended for parsing and serialization of HepML tags, and representing the HepML block in computer memory. The library is an API for external software. For example, Matrix Element Monte Carlo event generators can use the library for preparing and writing a header of a LHEF file in the form of HepML tags. In turn, Showering and Hadronization event generators can parse the HepML header and get the information in the form of C++ classes. libhepml can be used in C++, C, and Fortran programs. All necessary parts of HepML have been prepared and we present the project to the HEP community. Comment: 21 pages, 4 eps figures, elsart.cls

A nested large-scale wave model that covers most of the Atlantic Ocean and focuses on generating accurate swell conditions for Ireland is presented and validated over the two years 2016 and 2017. The impact of currents is studied using the surface currents from the GLORYS product. Currents slightly reduce by 1\% the error of the model compared to altimetry data, but they explain most of the wave energy at scales less than 50 meters. The variability induced by currents is found to be more noticeable on the instantaneous fields, up to 50 cm. Track following observations indicate that wave refraction induced by mesoscale eddies is correctly captured. However, this modulation is of the same order as a shorter-scale variability appearing in the altimetry data, which makes it difficult to objectively assess the impact of currents. 31 pages, 15 figures

We present a new Monte Carlo tool that computes full tree-level matrix elements in high-energy physics. The program accepts user-defined models and has no restrictions on the process multiplicity. To achieve acceptable performance, CAMORRA evaluates the matrix elements in a recursive way by combining off-shell currents. Furthermore, CAMORRA can be used to compute amplitudes involving continuous color and helicity final states. Comment: 22 pages
