This paper presents a comprehensive study of heavy flavor baryon spectroscopy using a quark-diquark effective mass formalism under two interaction scenarios, successfully predicting the masses of various states that align well with experimental and lattice QCD data by incorporating constituent masses, hyperfine interactions, and a mass-dependent binding energy term.
This paper demonstrates that single-minus tree-level -gluon scattering amplitudes, traditionally assumed to vanish, are actually non-zero for specific half-collinear or complexified momentum configurations and provides a piecewise-constant closed-form expression for these amplitudes that satisfies key consistency conditions like Weinberg's soft theorem.
This paper presents a study of the mass spectra and mass differences of heavy hadrons containing bottom quarks using MILC's 2+1+1 flavor HISQ gauge ensembles, employing a mixed-action approach with NRQCD for bottom quarks, anisotropic Clover for charm, and O(a)-improved Wilson-Clover for light and strange quarks.
This paper presents a unified exact solution to the relativistic Boltzmann equation for a boost-invariant conformal gas on across all constant-curvature slicings, which reproduces known Bjorken and Gubser flows while introducing a novel analytic "Grozdanov flow" for hyperbolic foliations that naturally encompasses both hydrodynamic and free-streaming regimes.
This paper utilizes near-Earth space-based measurements, including Gravity Probe B, LAGEOS-2, and prospective Sagnac interferometry with advanced clocks, to establish stringent bounds on chameleon, symmetron, and dilaton screened dark energy models, demonstrating that such experiments can exclude significant portions of their previously allowed parameter space.
This paper rigorously extends the Coleman-Glaser-Martin theorem to finite temperatures, proving that the least-action saddle-point configurations for a broad class of scalar potentials are necessarily -symmetric and spatially monotonic, thereby providing a mathematical foundation for symmetry assumptions in thermal vacuum decay and cosmological phase transitions.
This paper proposes that if the reheating of the early universe is driven by thermal dissipation, it would leave distinctive imprints on the spectrum of primordial gravitational waves, offering a potential observational method to probe the underlying physics of this process.
This paper demonstrates that the RES-NOVA experiment, utilizing archaeological lead crystals, can probe neutrino non-standard interactions (NSI) at levels comparable to current global fits in its nominal configuration and potentially surpass them with improved energy thresholds or increased exposure, particularly in the electron and tau sectors.
This study demonstrates that the High-Luminosity LHC can achieve a $5\sigma$ discovery of the Two Higgs Doublet Model Type-I through multi-top quark events arising from Higgs pair decays, specifically utilizing associated production processes with degenerate heavy Higgs masses of 500 GeV in the alignment limit.
This paper constructs an explicit rephasing transformation to convert arbitrary unitary matrices into the Kobayashi-Maskawa parameterization, identifying independent CP phases as matrix element arguments and deriving a concise expression for the KM phase in terms of fermion-specific rephasing invariants under specific approximations.
This paper proposes that the Electron-Ion Collider (EIC) can significantly advance the determination of nuclear weak charge form factors by providing continuous momentum transfer data across a wide range of nuclei, thereby resolving theoretical degeneracies in neutron density distributions that current single-point fixed-target experiments cannot address.
This paper demonstrates that a future 3 TeV muon collider can decisively test the muonphilic dark matter hypothesis, which explains the Galactic Center GeV Excess, by projecting comprehensive exclusion limits across a wide range of mediator masses using four distinct search strategies with a -even mediator.
This paper establishes robust upper bounds on heavy QCD axion lifetimes as low as 0.017 seconds by analyzing Big Bang Nucleosynthesis constraints on neutron-to-proton ratio modifications from hadronic decays, a limit that surpasses projected future CMB bounds and remains largely insensitive to hadronic uncertainties.
This paper explores the realization of spontaneous CP violation in two distinct supersymmetric scenarios—extending the spurion formalism within the exact SUSY limit and constructing a model with intermediate-scale breaking stabilized by soft SUSY breaking and non-perturbative effects—to address the strong CP problem while predicting light scalars in the CP-violating sector.
This paper employs a dispersive approach constrained by analyticity, unitarity, and recent Khuri-Treiman solutions for amplitudes to derive a minimal two-parameter representation of the form factors governing CP-conserving decays, successfully reproducing experimental data and determining previously unknown signs and amplitude components.
Using QCD sum rules, this paper investigates triquark-antitriquark hexaquark configurations to interpret the BESIII-observed and states, finding that two predicted candidates match the experimental masses while offering new predictions for $0^+0^-$ states and analyzing their decay modes.
This paper demonstrates that introducing dark decay channels for sub-GeV heavy neutral leptons fails to evade cosmological constraints, as the resulting increase in extra radiation energy density actually strengthens Big Bang Nucleosynthesis bounds on their mixing angles.
This paper demonstrates that multi-body dark matter annihilation, typically considered negligible, can drive a significant photon proliferation effect in nonthermal scenarios where dark matter becomes nonrelativistic early, thereby imposing constraints on ultralight dark matter couplings that are orders of magnitude stronger than existing limits.
This paper demonstrates that heavy vector dark matter at the TeV scale or higher can be efficiently produced non-thermally via relativistic bubble wall expansion during a first-order phase transition, a mechanism that dominates over wall collisions and predicts a phase transition scale accessible to future gravitational wave detectors.
Based on recent lattice evidence and 't Hooft anomaly constraints, this paper proposes that the chiral phase transition in hot QCD for massless flavors may be described by a conformal manifold of -dependent universality classes featuring an exactly marginal operator related to baryon density, rather than a standard Ginzburg-Landau critical point.
