This paper calculates pion one-loop corrections to nucleon electromagnetic form factors up to within a nonlocal chiral effective theory framework, demonstrating that the inclusion of nonlocal effects significantly improves the description of the -dependence at large momentum transfers compared to previous local analyses.
This paper proposes a mechanism where axion-like particles modify Standard Model gauge field configurations to generate the observed baryon asymmetry and produce a unique, constant low-frequency Cosmic Microwave Background spectral distortion distinct from conventional y-type and -type distortions.
This paper proposes utilizing the Large Hadron Collider's existing superfluid helium-4 cooling system as a large-scale detector for Axion (Anti)Quark Nuggets (AQN), highlighting how the significant heating induced by AQN propagation through surrounding metal components could damage the enclosure and serve as a detection signature.
This paper utilizes the Color Glass Condensate effective theory to demonstrate that gluonic nucleon energy correlators and fracture functions in the target fragmentation region are determined by the adjoint dipole -matrix, predicting a distinct azimuthal asymmetry sensitive to the saturation scale and exhibiting significant nuclear suppression, thereby offering a novel probe for gluon saturation at the future Electron-Ion Collider.
The paper introduces TauPolaris, a tool utilizing conditional normalizing flows to reconstruct tau lepton polarimetric vectors by modeling the full kinematic density of undetected neutrinos, thereby improving spin observable resolution and enhancing sensitivity to quantum entanglement and CP violation in Higgs boson decays at the LHC.
Using chiral perturbation theory with dimensional regularization, this paper analyzes the impact of a localized, inhomogeneous magnetic field on the QCD vacuum at zero temperature, demonstrating that equilibrium observables and induced vacuum currents can be precisely determined at next-to-leading order without undetermined parameters, thereby revealing the nonlocal spatial structure of the magnetized vacuum beyond locally constant approximations.
This paper proposes using neutrino-induced charged current coherent pion production events in the DUNE near detector as a "standard candle" to simultaneously constrain the muon neutrino flux normalization and cross-section uncertainties, potentially reducing flux normalization errors to a few percent.
This paper proposes an extension of Light-Front Holographic QCD to model non-equilibrium real-time dynamics and calculate key transport coefficients of strongly coupled quark-gluon plasma by incorporating finite-temperature effects via holographic black brane backgrounds, thereby offering a novel framework for studying thermalization and dissipative phenomena in heavy-ion collisions that complements existing Euclidean lattice methods.
This paper introduces Monte Carlo event generators as digital twins for collider experiments, detailing their core components and techniques used to simulate the full chain of particle physics processes from hard scattering and radiation to hadronization and decay.
This paper introduces a physics-informed conditional variational autoencoder that achieves interpretable, low-dimensional compression of cosmic microwave background power spectra to enable rapid, amortized diagnostics for cosmological model discrimination and anomaly detection beyond the standard CDM framework.
