This paper highlights the potential of discovering radio pulsars orbiting Sagittarius A* to test fundamental physics, while addressing the challenge of mass perturbations in the Galactic center by developing a numerical timing model to accurately probe spacetime and dark matter.
This paper introduces a novel Log Gaussian Cox Process (LGCP) method for modeling smooth backgrounds in high energy physics that minimizes assumptions about the underlying shape by utilizing a Gaussian process for the intensity function and Markov Chain Monte Carlo for optimization, demonstrating its effectiveness through synthetic experiments against traditional analytic functional forms.
This paper establishes the equivalence between the parametric resonance and coherent state -matrix approaches to scalar condensate decay by modifying the latter to eliminate unwanted diagrams and explicitly demonstrating their agreement at lower orders in a double expansion.
This paper demonstrates that primordial black holes retaining electric charges from the early universe, particularly near-extremal ones, can significantly alter Hawking radiation evaporation limits and thus reshape constraints on their viability as dark matter candidates.
This paper systematically classifies dimension-six baryon-number-violating SMEFT operators under various flavor-symmetry assumptions, demonstrating how their interplay with neutrino masses can allow for multi-TeV BNV scales consistent with proton decay constraints, while also identifying UV completions where the effective field theory description may be insufficient.
This paper investigates the impact of a circularly polarized laser field on top quark decay within the type-I two Higgs doublet model, demonstrating that specific laser parameters can significantly enhance the branching ratio of the channel to 0.97, thereby surpassing the standard decay and offering a promising strategy for detecting charged Higgs bosons.
This paper extends the Koopman-von Neumann-Sudarshan Hilbert space formulation to relativistic QCD, demonstrating that the covariant Wigner operator is fundamentally a quantum probability amplitude projected onto phase space, thereby offering a unified framework that clarifies the origin of nonclassical features like negativity and establishes a transparent foundation for parton distribution functions.
This paper employs machine-learning-style optimization, featuring a novel singular-value-based optimizer and uncertainty estimation, to numerically explore the landscape of two-dimensional conformal field theories with central charges between 1 and 8/7, identifying candidate spectra in a previously uncharted region and suggesting a tighter constraint on the spectral gap near .
This paper investigates how tidal interactions with the Milky Way and stellar self-gravity affect ultra-light dark matter constraints derived from dwarf galaxies, finding that despite these systematics, dark matter masses between and eV remain in tension with current observational data.
This paper proposes that supermassive primordial black holes, formed via a catalyzed dark sector phase transition involving domain walls, serve as the seeds for JWST's observed "Little Red Dots" while simultaneously generating a testable ultra-low-frequency gravitational wave background.
