This paper proposes a quantum information-inspired framework where spin entanglement in quark-antiquark pairs created from the QCD vacuum undergoes decoherence via string breaking during hadronization, successfully explaining hyperon spin-correlation data from RHIC and the LHC.
This paper introduces a novel time-domain search strategy using a two-dimensional unbinned likelihood framework to detect time-varying resonances in CMS dimuon data, demonstrating that incorporating temporal information can enhance sensitivity to signals with periodically modulated masses compared to conventional time-integrated analyses.
This paper demonstrates that cross-correlating galaxy surveys from the Chinese Space-station Survey Telescope (CSST) with future gravitational-wave detector networks, particularly the multi-band BDET2CE configuration, offers a powerful statistical method to identify primordial black holes by distinguishing their unique clustering biases from astrophysical black holes, potentially detecting PBH contributions as low as 20% of the total merger rate.
This paper proposes a classical Hamiltonian formalism for plasmon bremsstrahlung in a hot quark-gluon plasma by generalizing the Lie-Poisson bracket to include non-Abelian color charges and deriving a self-consistent system of kinetic equations to describe the time evolution of plasmon number densities and hard particle color charges.
This paper introduces Reduced-Order Stochastic Diffraction (ROSD) models, which utilize singular value decomposition of numerical wave-optics simulations to create an efficient, probabilistic framework for describing and detecting microlensing distortions in gravitational waves caused by stellar fields.
This paper presents the first joint constraints on the sum of neutrino masses and neutrino density isocurvature modes using Planck 2018, ACT DR6, SPT-3G, DESI DR2, and DES Year 5 data, finding that while the inclusion of isocurvature perturbations only marginally weakens the upper mass limits, the tightest bounds are highly sensitive to dark energy models and prior assumptions regarding the neutrino mass hierarchy.
This paper systematically calculates the diffuse flux of ultra-high-energy cosmic ray-boosted relic neutrinos by modeling various Standard Model scattering channels and cosmic ray compositions, ultimately deriving upper limits on the cosmic neutrino background overdensity using current IceCube and Pierre Auger Observatory data.
This paper reviews the development of perturbative QCD as a quantitative tool between 1976 and 2000, highlighting key theoretical advancements like factorization and resummation, computational techniques such as computer algebra and spinor methods, and the calculation of important processes at next-to-leading order following the discovery of asymptotic freedom.
This paper presents exact analytic solutions for the linear dynamics of a two-field inflationary system with arbitrary entropy mass and interaction strength, providing closed-form expressions for the primordial power spectrum that bridge weakly and strongly coupled regimes and enabling future analytic studies of multifield observables like non-Gaussianity.
This paper presents an impact-parameter dependent perturbative QCD model based on the Color Glass Condensate framework, utilizing an analytical solution to the Balitsky-Kovchegov equation and a Froissart-consistent exponential saturation momentum, which successfully describes a wide range of combined HERA data at small- and offers a reliable foundation for future high-energy experiments like the Electron-Ion Collider.
