This paper investigates (3+1)d topological orders with anomalous symmetry by microscopically constructing symmetry-preserving gapped boundary states for related (4+1)d SPT phases, demonstrating that such states admit a topological gauge theory description when , a non-TQFT solution when , and no symmetric gapped state otherwise, thereby confirming existing no-go theorems.
This paper revisits the stability of the Higgs potential in the Standard Model by leveraging high-precision theoretical calculations and recent experimental data to demonstrate the critical role of top quark mass and strong coupling constants, while also exploring new physics scenarios that could ensure absolute stability.
This paper presents a scale setting and strong coupling determination for 2+1 flavor lattice QCD using HISQ ensembles, reporting precise gradient flow scales ( and ) and a potential scale () while providing a polynomial ansatz for predicting lattice spacings and estimating .
This paper utilizes the CheckMATE 2 framework to analyze R-parity violating signatures from UDD couplings in the MSSM, revealing that while colored LSPs are well-constrained by current LHC data, electroweakino and slepton LSPs remain significantly under-covered due to a lack of targeted experimental searches.
This study evaluates the potential of the IDEA detector at the FCC-ee, alongside proposed dedicated LLP detectors like DELIGHT B, to detect long-lived particles arising from Higgs and B-meson decays within a Higgs portal model, finding that cylindrical configurations and DELIGHT B offer enhanced sensitivity against Standard Model backgrounds.
Using Pantheon+, DESy5, and DESI-DR2 data, this study finds that generalized entropic gravity-thermodynamic models are significantly disfavored compared to the standard CDM model, with the data favoring standard Bekenstein-Hawking entropy and a three-parameter formulation over more complex variants.
This paper demonstrates that blind directions in SMEFT parameter space, which render TeraZ electroweak precision measurements insensitive to certain new physics scenarios, arise generically in realistic multi-field ultraviolet completions and persist despite radiative corrections, thereby necessitating complementary high-energy probes from future FCC runs to fully explore the landscape of potential new physics.
This study utilizes the AMPT model to demonstrate that the elliptic flow of charged hadrons in 200 GeV d+Au collisions is primarily driven by early-stage partonic interactions rather than hadronic rescattering, successfully reproducing experimental trends and highlighting the significance of parton scattering mechanisms in asymmetric collision systems.
This paper presents the implementation of full and simplified likelihood models for multibin signal regions within the CheckMATE framework, incorporating 13 ATLAS and CMS searches to enable statistical combinations that enhance sensitivity and allow for the integration of orthogonal search channels.
This paper investigates how magnetic fields in heavy ion collisions induce quarkonia spin alignment through both orbital wave function distortion and spin state mixing, finding that the spin contribution dominates phenomenologically while the subleading orbital effect offers a unique probe for studying quarkonium structural changes.
This paper presents a unified framework for constraining extended dark matter compact objects (EDCOs) by modeling their gravitational wakes and gas heating effects as they traverse the interstellar medium, yielding new limits on their abundance in the Leo T dwarf galaxy for masses exceeding one solar mass.
This paper introduces iHOMER, an iterative method combining Bayesian neural networks and uncertainty-aware regression to extract well-calibrated Lund fragmentation functions from experimental data by systematically addressing latent phase space biases and quantifying uncertainties.
This paper establishes joint constraints on light primordial black holes (1g to $10^9$g) and the non-cold dark matter they produce via Hawking radiation by analyzing how the resulting ultra-relativistic dark matter smooths out small-scale structures in the matter power spectrum, even when PBHs evaporate before Big-Bang nucleosynthesis without dominating the early Universe.
This paper utilizes the dispersive Khuri-Treitan formalism combined with Heavy Quark Spin Symmetry to analyze decays, demonstrating that incorporating three-body final state interactions is essential for accurately describing experimental data and extracting the pole structures of the and resonances, which are found to originate from bare input states.
Using the relativistic flux tube model to successfully predict charmed meson masses and identify anomalous resonances, this study proposes spectroscopic assignments for numerous high-mass states and extends its calculations to the mass spectra of doubly charmed baryons, offering crucial guidance for future experimental searches.
This paper proposes and simulates a novel dual-baseline neutrino oscillation experiment using a fraction of the Electron-Ion Collider's proton beam to drive a high-intensity GeV-scale beam toward detectors at SNOLAB and SURF, demonstrating that such an extended baseline configuration significantly enhances sensitivity to leptonic CP violation and matter effects.
This paper introduces a generalized Casas-Ibarra parametrisation that provides a unified, minimal framework for describing Majorana neutrino masses across all models, significantly simplifying analytical and numerical analyses while offering a new classification scheme that motivates extended Scotogenic models.
This paper demonstrates that a complex singlet extension of the Standard Model can simultaneously explain the formation of primordial black holes via a first-order electroweak phase transition, predict observable stochastic gravitational waves for future space-based detectors, and yield measurable deviations in the Higgs triple coupling at future lepton colliders, thereby establishing a comprehensive multimessenger framework to test early Universe dynamics.
This paper employs combinatorial methods based on the tree-level effective action to provide an explicit proof of the covariance of on-shell connected functions and derive a closed formula for tree-level scattering amplitudes with any number of external legs, without relying on specific Lagrangian formulations.
This paper investigates the generation of primordial stochastic gravitational waves during the reheating period by calculating the perturbative decay of a coherently oscillating inflaton into massive spin-3/2 particles accompanied by graviton bremsstrahlung, demonstrating that the resulting gravitational wave spectra can provide insights into the microscopic physics of inflation.
