 Scale hierarchy in high-temperature QCD / Akerlund, Oscar ; de Forcrand, Philippe Because of asymptotic freedom, QCD becomes weakly interacting at high temperature: this is the reason for the transition to a deconfined phase in Yang-Mills theory at temperature $T_c$. [...] arXiv:1312.1543 ; CERN-PH-TH-2013-287. - 2013. - 7 p. Preprint

 Rescuing Quadratic Inflation / Ellis, John ; Fairbairn, Malcolm ; Sueiro, Maria Inflationary models based on a single scalar field $\phi$ with a quadratic potential $V = \frac{1}{2} m^2 \phi^2$ are disfavoured by the recent Planck constraints on the scalar index, $n_s$, and the tensor-to-scalar ratio for cosmological density perturbations, $r_T$.

 Dynamical Sectors of a Bigravity Model in One Dimension / Dominici, Daniele ; Gomis, Joaquim ; Kamimura, Kiyoshi ; Longhi, Giorgio We reconsider a model of two relativistic particles interacting via a multiplicative potential, as an example of a simple dynamical system with sectors, or branches, with different dynamics and degrees of freedom.

 Light third-generation squarks from flavour gauge messengers / Brümmer, Felix ; McGarrie, Moritz ; Weiler, Andreas We study models of gauge-mediated supersymmetry breaking with a gauged horizontal SU(3)_F symmetry acting on the quark superfields.

 The Phase Diagram of Strong Coupling QCD including Gauge Corrections / de Forcrand, Philippe ; Langelage, Jens ; Philipsen, Owe ; Unger, Wolfgang The strong coupling limit of lattice QCD with staggered fermions has been studied for decades, both via Monte Carlo and via mean field theory.

 Kinetic freeze-out, particle spectra and harmonic flow coefficients from mode-by-mode hydrodynamics / Floerchinger, Stefan ; Wiedemann, Urs Achim The kinetic freeze-out for the hydrodynamical description of relativistic heavy ion collisions is discussed using a background-fluctuation splitting of the hydrodynamical fields.

 Constraints on Einstein-\AE ther theory and Horava gravity from binary pulsar observations / Yagi, Kent ; Blas, Diego ; Barausse, Enrico ; Yunes, Nicolas Binary pulsars are ideal to test the foundations of General Relativity, such as Lorentz symmetry, which requires that experiments produce the same results in all free-falling (i.e.inertial) frames.

 Monotop phenomenology at the Large Hadron Collider / Agram, Jean-Laurent ; Andrea, Jeremy ; Buttignol, Michael ; Conte, Eric ; Fuks, Benjamin We investigate new physics scenarios where systems comprised of a single top quark accompanied by missing transverse energy, dubbed monotops, can be produced at the LHC.
