This paper introduces two complementary methods, averaging and differential amplification, to estimate the statistical precision of generative networks for LHC simulations without large holdout datasets, demonstrating that event amplification is feasible in specific phase-space regions.
This paper maps the scattering scenarios of Nielsen-Olesen vortex-antivortex collisions, revealing that in the deep type II regime, energy transfer via a Feshbach resonant quasinormal mode induces a chaotic pattern of bounce windows within annihilation regions.
This paper presents the first numerical study of gauge-mediation type Q-ball formation in a logarithmic square potential, revealing a broad charge distribution that enables stable baryonic and leptonic Q-balls to account for dark matter without conflicting with Big Bang nucleosynthesis or gamma-ray constraints.
This paper demonstrates that Ultra-peripheral Collisions at the LHC, specifically using lead ions at ATLAS and proton ions at the HL-LHC, offer a powerful avenue to discover or exclude new charged vector bosons decaying into heavy neutral leptons across a broad mass range (5–350 GeV) within the Vector Scotogenic Model, achieving high statistical significance for various mass scenarios.
This paper introduces an effective chiral model incorporating finite-size effects to investigate the scaling properties of chiral and net-baryon number fluctuations near critical points and first-order transitions, providing phenomenological insights into observables like the Binder cumulant and kurtosis along the phase boundary and freeze-out line.
This paper introduces a comprehensive, publicly available framework for analyzing flavored dark matter models that integrates relic density calculations, detection limits, collider constraints, and flavor observables, demonstrating its application to Majorana dark matter scenarios coupled to leptons and quarks.
This study reveals that spectator nucleons significantly enhance low- light nuclei production in peripheral nucleus-nucleus collisions at high baryon density, suggesting that standard model-based extrapolations used to calculate total yields may systematically underestimate these values.
This paper maps the critical regions surrounding the critical end point in the - plane using renormalized quark-meson models with improved treatments of vacuum fluctuations, Polyakov loop back-reaction, and vector interactions, demonstrating the robustness of the critical end point and first-order transition up to strong vector couplings relevant for compact star physics.
This paper evaluates the Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment's (DUNE) potential to resolve the Dirac CP phase, mass ordering, and octant while distinguishing standard CP violation from nonstandard interactions, with a specific focus on the advantages offered by the second oscillation maximum.
This paper investigates the dynamics of first-order inverse phase transitions in the Witten-Sakai-Sugimoto holographic QCD model by computing Euclidean bounce solutions to determine bubble nucleation rates and estimating bubble wall velocities for both deconfinement and chiral symmetry-restoring transitions.
