Strongly electroweak phase transition with U(1)LμLτU(1)_{L_μ-L_τ} gauged non-zero hypercharge triplet

This paper proposes a Standard Model extension featuring three non-zero hypercharge triplets under a U(1)LμLτU(1)_{L_\mu-L_\tau} gauge symmetry, demonstrating that the model can simultaneously satisfy vacuum stability up to the Planck scale, perturbative unitarity up to $10^{12}$ GeV, and a strongly first-order electroweak phase transition with detectable gravitational wave signatures at LISA and BBO.

Thermal Radiation from an Analytic Hydrodynamic Model with Hadronic and QGP Sources in Heavy-Ion Collisions

This paper presents a fully analytic hydrodynamic model incorporating a lattice-QCD-consistent equation of state to describe thermal photon production across the quark-hadron transition, demonstrating good agreement with PHENIX experimental data for Au+Au collisions at sNN=200\sqrt{s_{NN}} = 200 GeV and enabling the investigation of initial temperature centrality dependence.

Constraining Gamma-ray Lines from Dark Matter Annihilation using Fermi-LAT and H.E.S.S. data

This study combines 14 years of Fermi-LAT and 10 years of H.E.S.S. observations of the galactic center to establish stringent constraints on dark matter annihilation into gamma-ray lines, demonstrating that Fermi-LAT provides the tightest limits for masses below 300 GeV while H.E.S.S. dominates for masses above 1 TeV, collectively probing energy scales up to 10–20 TeV.

Probing the spin parity structure of hidden charm pentaquarks from spectroscopy and magnetic moments

This paper investigates the spin-parity assignments of hidden charm pentaquark states within a baryon-meson molecular framework using the Gursey-Radicati mass formula and magnetic moment calculations, identifying specific quantum numbers for observed candidates like Pc(4312)P_c(4312), Pc(4440)P_c(4440), Pc(4457)P_c(4457), and Pcs(4459)P_{cs}(4459) while demonstrating that magnetic moments serve as a valuable observable for refining future quantum-number identification.

Vacuum Stability in the Standard Model and Beyond

This paper re-evaluates Standard Model vacuum stability using high-order perturbations and precise parameters to show that improved measurements of the top mass and strong coupling could confirm stability at the $5\sigma$ level, while also exploring viable singlet scalar extensions that remain stable up to the Planck scale and predicting significant deviations in Higgs couplings testable at current and future colliders.

Getting More Out of Black Hole Superradiance: a Statistically Rigorous Approach to Ultralight Boson Constraints from Black Hole Spin Measurements

This paper advocates for a Bayesian statistical framework based on timescale analysis to derive the most rigorous constraints on ultralight boson masses and self-interactions from black hole spin measurements, demonstrating its application to both stellar-mass and supermassive black holes while highlighting the need for standardized data sharing in the field.

Scalar and vector dark matter admixed neutron stars with linear and quadratic couplings

This study employs a two-fluid formalism and Bayesian analysis of multimessenger data to investigate how linear and quadratic scalar and vector dark matter interactions influence the structure, compactness, and equation of state of dark matter admixed neutron stars, revealing that vector repulsion and quadratic scalar couplings significantly alter stellar properties compared to standard models.
