This paper demonstrates that imposing a near-maximal entanglement-entropy criterion on the final-state spins and colors of Higgs decays provides a unique quantum-information probe that accurately predicts the Standard Model's Higgs and W boson masses while constraining coupling ratios in extended parameter frameworks.
This paper analyzes four formulations of perfect spin hydrodynamics for spin-1/2 particles, demonstrating that they constitute a divergence-type theory which is both nonlinearly causal and stable through a nonperturbative approach utilizing exact distribution functions.
This paper proposes a sub-GeV vector dark matter model mediated by a non-Abelian magnetic dipole portal that naturally yields an inverse mass hierarchy, demonstrating that a significant parameter space consistent with thermal relic abundance and current constraints can be effectively probed by combining fixed-target experiments with direct detection and cosmological observations.
This paper proposes and analyzes a new massive, optically levitated quantum sensor (MOLeQuTE) designed to detect feeble oscillatory forces from ultralight dark matter, demonstrating its potential to operate at the standard quantum limit and significantly advance existing sensitivity limits for vector B-L dark matter.
This paper presents the first predictive model of vector freeze-in dark matter arising from a hidden non-Abelian sector broken to a residual , where massive dark vectors acquire millicharges via kinetic mixing and achieve the observed relic abundance through a two-temperature Boltzmann evolution involving plasmon decay, offering a testable framework for sub-GeV direct detection.
This paper proposes a baryogenesis mechanism driven by an "entropy-clock" chemical potential during reheating, establishing a transfer-function bound that demonstrates successful freeze-out requires the entropy production timescale to overlap with the charge-violation scale, thereby constraining the reheating temperature to be comparable to the freeze-out temperature.
Using a dispersion relation framework that accounts for chiral symmetry breaking and field mixing, this study calculates the low-energy scattering parameters for and systems, revealing attractive interactions dominated by soft-gluon exchange with the kaon channel showing moderate enhancement over the pion channel.
The paper proposes a simple algebraic relation between neutrino mass-squared differences that aligns with current experimental data and, in the case of a vanishing lightest neutrino mass, reduces to the elegant Fritzsch relation, thereby potentially constraining the neutrino mass scale and generation mechanism.
This study utilizes IceCube data from four candidate neutrino sources to derive the most stringent constraints to date on dark matter-neutrino scattering cross-sections, with a stacked analysis of these sources yielding upper bounds of approximately cm at 90% confidence level.
This paper demonstrates that score-based diffusion models, utilizing quaternion parameterization and physics-conditioned sampling, can accurately generate configurations for two-dimensional SU(2) lattice gauge theory across varying couplings and lattice sizes without retraining, achieving results consistent with exact analytical predictions.
