Neutrino masses, δPMNSδ_\mathrm{PMNS}, and mββm_{ββ} in SO(10)

This paper presents a comprehensive analysis of a supersymmetric SO(10) model where non-thermal leptogenesis explains the baryon asymmetry, yielding specific predictions for neutrino masses, the CP-violating phase δPMNS\delta_\mathrm{PMNS}, and the neutrinoless double beta decay parameter mββm_{\beta\beta} that remain consistent with JUNO's latest reactor neutrino oscillation data.

Update of the nonlocal sub-leading O1{O}_1-O7{O}_7 contribution to BˉXsγ\bar B \to X_s γ at LO

This paper presents a revised calculation of the complete non-local sub-leading contribution to the inclusive decay BˉXsγ\bar B \to X_s \gamma by removing the previously subtracted local Voloshin term, thereby addressing the high correlation between uncertainties and significantly impacting the estimated range of this contribution.

Analytical study of birefringent cavities for axion-like dark matter search

This study develops a rigorous, nonperturbative framework to quantify how mirror birefringence and polarization misalignment degrade sensitivity in axion-like particle searches, revealing that while misalignment effects can be mitigated through postselection, birefringence introduces a distinct high-mass resonance peak that necessitates careful consideration in high-precision optical-cavity experiments.

Study of the decay pattern of f0(1370)f_0 (1370) as a κκˉκ\bar{κ} molecular state

This study investigates the f0(1370)f_0(1370) meson as a κκˉ\kappa\bar{\kappa} molecular state by calculating its decay partial widths, finding that while the Weinberg criterion underestimates the total width, adjusting the coupling constant allows the model to fit experimental data and suggests that current conflicting results do not yet rule out this molecular assignment.

Machine Learning insights on the Z3 3HDM with Dark Matter

This paper employs Evolutionary Strategies augmented with Novelty Reward to identify viable Z3-symmetric 3-Higgs Doublet Model dark matter candidates with mass-degenerate WIMPs across two distinct mass regimes, successfully satisfying theoretical and experimental constraints while revealing the challenges of navigating the model's non-convex parameter space.

Parameter estimation of eccentric massive black hole binaries with LISA and its cosmological implications

This paper demonstrates that the orbital eccentricity of massive black hole binaries significantly enhances LISA's parameter estimation capabilities, leading to a substantial increase in the number of bright standard sirens and resulting in markedly tighter cosmological constraints on parameters such as the Hubble constant and dark energy.

Domain Walls from Σ(36×3)\Sigma(36 \times 3), Δ(54)\Delta(54) and Δ(27)\Delta(27) potentials

This paper classifies the distinct domain walls and calculates their tensions arising from the degenerate minima of scalar potentials invariant under the Σ(36×3)\Sigma(36 \times 3) symmetry and its subgroups Δ(54)\Delta(54) and Δ(27)\Delta(27), with and without imposed CP symmetries.

Reheating after Starobinsky Inflation in the Jordan Frame

This paper investigates gravitational reheating in the Starobinsky model within the Jordan frame, demonstrating that particle production driven by Ricci scalar oscillations leads to a reheating temperature of approximately $2 \times 10^9$ GeV and highlighting how quantum effects can yield distinct microphysical interpretations and quantitative predictions compared to the Einstein frame.
