Two Higgs Doublet Model from Six Dimensional Gauge Theory

This paper proposes an improved Two Higgs Doublet Model derived from six-dimensional SU(4)SU(4) gauge theory compactified on an orbifold, where the inclusion of brane-localized gauge kinetic terms naturally enforces CP conservation and Z2Z_2 symmetry at tree level while allowing for the generation of soft symmetry-breaking masses and the Standard Model Higgs mass at the one-loop level.

The effects of Higgs boson couplings through HZZ production at future lepton colliders

This paper investigates the sensitivity of Higgs-gauge boson couplings at future lepton colliders by simulating the +HZZ\ell^- \ell^+ \rightarrow HZZ process within the SMEFT framework, ultimately deriving stringent 95% C.L. limits on the cHB\overline{c}_{HB} and cHW\overline{c}_{HW} coefficients for 3 TeV CLIC and 10 TeV Muon Collider scenarios that significantly surpass current experimental bounds.

Generalized transverse momentum distributions at small-xx

This paper computes the complete set of leading-twist gluon and sea-quark generalized transverse momentum distributions (GTMDs) in the small-xx eikonal approximation at vanishing skewness, establishing universal relations among them and projecting the results onto transverse momentum dependent distributions (TMDs) and generalized parton distributions (GPDs) to guide phenomenological modeling and enable explicit calculations.

Next-to-next-to-leading order event generation for ttˉHt\bar{t}H production with approximate two-loop amplitude

This paper presents the first next-to-next-to-leading order (NNLO) QCD event generation for ttˉHt\bar{t}H production matched to parton showers using the MiNNLOPS method, which incorporates a novel pointwise combination of soft and high-energy two-loop amplitude approximations to provide robust, publicly available predictions for Higgs-boson decay into photons with off-shell top-quark decays.

Survival of ultraheavy nuclei in astrophysical sources: applications to protomagnetar outflows

This paper develops new analytic fitting formulae for photodisintegration cross sections to demonstrate that the survival of ultraheavy nuclei in protomagnetar outflows is highly sensitive to the outflow geometry and engine properties, with spherical winds allowing survival only in the early phase and jetted outflows permitting survival primarily in low-spin-down energy scenarios before jet breakout.
