This paper numerically investigates chiral symmetry restoration in holographic QCD using a Born-Infeld black hole background, revealing that while the nonlinear electrodynamics parameter stabilizes the chirally broken phase and shifts transition temperatures, it does not alter the transition order or generate a critical endpoint within the studied range.
The authors announce the transition of their community-maintained bibliography from the "Living Review," which served as a comprehensive archive up to June 2026, to a new "Living Guide" that curates and annotates foundational work to better navigate the rapidly diversifying field of machine learning in particle physics.
This paper formulates a finite-temperature Schwinger-Keldysh effective field theory for type-B Goldstone modes by employing a near-diagonal geometric framework that identifies the Berry term via transgression and ensures compatibility with the dynamical KMS condition, ultimately deriving dispersion relations and correlation functions for dissipative systems through the classification of tensors on the coset manifold.
This paper refutes claims that large-scale white noise generates an infrared pole in the second-order comoving curvature perturbation, demonstrating instead that such an enhancement is an artifact of misapplying the linear Poisson equation and that the perturbation remains protected by a conservation law in the soft limit.
This paper provides an overview of the current status and future directions of Monte-Carlo event generators for high-energy physics, emphasizing the need for cohesive development, model tuning to experimental data, and open data preservation to reduce systematic uncertainties and ensure consistency across experiments.
This paper establishes a new upper bound on the abundance of primordial black holes lighter than grams by demonstrating that their biased clustering and non-standard Hawking radiation branching ratios generate isocurvature perturbations constrained by Planck CMB data.
This paper demonstrates that neural simulation-based inference outperforms traditional histogram-based methods when applied to global LHC analyses involving the combination of four di-boson processes within the Standard Model Effective Field Theory framework.
This chapter provides a pedagogical overview of neutrino-nucleus scattering in the medium-energy regime, detailing the fundamental electroweak formalism, dominant interaction mechanisms, and critical nuclear effects that drive systematic uncertainties in modern accelerator-based neutrino oscillation experiments.
This paper presents a symmetry-protected supergravity model of hybrid -attractor inflation with a sequestered Stckelberg uplift that realizes an E-model plateau, yielding red-tilted spectral predictions consistent with current CMB and large-scale structure data (Planck, ACT DR6, DESI DR2) while remaining testable by future -mode experiments.
This paper provides a comprehensive review of baryonium states and baryons within the framework of QCD sum rules, detailing calculation procedures and benchmarking theoretical predictions against alternative models and recent experimental data.
