Role of the Σ(1430)(1/2−)\Sigma(1430)(1/2^-) in the J/ψ→ΛΛˉπ0J/\psi \to \Lambda \bar{\Lambda} \pi^0 reaction

This paper theoretically demonstrates that the isospin-violating J/ψ→ΛΛˉπ0J/\psi \to \Lambda \bar{\Lambda} \pi^0 reaction dynamically generates the Σ(1430)(1/2−)\Sigma(1430)(1/2^-) resonance while suppressing the Σ(1385)(3/2+)\Sigma(1385)(3/2^+), a prediction that aligns with current BESIII experimental data and warrants further investigation with improved statistics.

Interplay of CPT-Violating and CPT-Conserving Lorentz Invariance Violation at DUNE

This study demonstrates that Lorentz invariance violation, particularly through CPT-violating SME coefficients like aeea_{ee}, aττa_{\tau\tau}, aeμa_{e\mu}, and aeτa_{e\tau}, significantly degrades the DUNE experiment's sensitivity to CP violation by introducing parameter-specific correlations and degeneracies that reduce discovery significance below the 5σ5\sigma threshold.

Predictions for bb-baryon lifetimes at NNLO-QCD

This paper presents updated predictions for bb-baryon lifetimes and their ratios within the heavy quark expansion framework by incorporating next-to-next-to-leading-order QCD corrections to free bb-quark decay and complete next-to-leading-order corrections to dimension-five contributions, resulting in significantly reduced theoretical uncertainties and excellent agreement with experimental data.

Gravitational Wave from Graviton Bremsstrahlung during Reheating

This paper revisits graviton production via inflaton decay during reheating to correct previous differential decay rate calculations, derive the resulting high-frequency stochastic gravitational wave background, and establish constraints from cosmological observations while projecting detection prospects for future microwave and space-based detectors.

Singlet-Doublet Fermionic Dark Matter in Gauge Theory of Baryons

This paper proposes a minimal U(1)BU(1)_B gauge extension of the Standard Model featuring a two-component singlet-doublet fermionic dark matter candidate stabilized by a discrete Z2Z_2 symmetry, which successfully evades stringent direct-detection constraints while offering testable predictions for collider, indirect, and gravitational wave experiments.

Constraining four-heavy-quark operators with top-quark, Higgs, and electroweak precision data

This paper establishes constraints on dimension-six four-heavy-quark operators in the Standard Model Effective Field Theory by combining LHC top-quark and single-Higgs production data with electroweak precision observables, while highlighting the significant impact of the γ5\gamma_5 scheme choice on the resulting fits.
