This paper proposes using asymmetric proton-lead collisions at the LHC to resolve the two-fold ambiguity in vector meson photoproduction, thereby enabling a direct and minimally model-dependent extraction of the nuclear suppression factor.
This paper investigates the spectroscopic properties of the double strange hybrid baryon ($ssqg$) using QCD sum rules with an interpolating current containing explicit gluonic degrees of freedom, yielding theoretical mass predictions of approximately 1593 MeV for the ground state and 1897 MeV for the first excited state to guide future experimental searches.
This paper compares dimension-8 effects on production from quark-antiquark and photon-photon initial states at the LHC, demonstrating that the photon-photon channel offers a dominant bosonic contribution for constraining anomalous gauge couplings and assessing the validity of Effective Field Theory while providing updated limits using current and future data.
This paper reviews the application of relativistic hydrodynamics to heavy-ion collisions, detailing how initial spatial eccentricities evolve into anisotropic flow coefficients via multi-particle correlations while analyzing the geometric dilution of vorticity and its impact on spin alignment observables.
This paper investigates a dark neutrino portal scenario where a light gauge boson mediates ultra-long-range neutrinophilic forces, demonstrating that the Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment (DUNE) can probe previously unexplored parameter space that simultaneously addresses neutrino oscillation anomalies and the Hubble tension.
By analyzing high-precision exclusive photon leptoproduction data while addressing tensions with CLAS 2018 measurements, this study extracts a proton charge radius consistent with the small-radius solution of the proton charge-radius puzzle, thereby validating BH-dominated processes as a reliable independent method for determining proton electromagnetic structure.
This paper proposes using the time-dependent linear polarization of close binary stars as a template to detect axion-induced birefringence via oscillatory polarization angle rotations, potentially achieving sensitivity to axion-photon couplings as low as GeV.
This study evaluates the sustainability of high-energy physics event generators beyond the LHC era by benchmarking HIJING++ with containerized tools across various CPU architectures, demonstrating that optimizing multithreading levels can significantly reduce energy consumption and computational costs.
This paper describes the extension of the variable flavor number scheme to three-loop order, which incorporates mass effects and heavy-quark parton distribution functions, validates this approach at large scales through renormalization group analysis, and provides numerical implementations of relevant Wilson coefficients.
This paper establishes Galactic neutrino telescopes as a powerful probe for light dark matter by deriving stringent upper limits on DM-nucleon cross sections down to keV-scale masses through the analysis of cosmic ray interactions with sub-GeV dark matter and their resulting high-energy neutrino signatures.
