This paper presents the first amplitude-assisted regression procedure at next-to-leading-order QCD accuracy, augmented with parton-shower effects and machine-learning techniques, to robustly extract the longitudinal-boson production rate in di-boson collisions at the LHC.
Using the PACIAE 4.0 model to simulate collisions at GeV, this study evaluates various structural interpretations of the resonance—including strangeonium, hybrid, tetraquark, and molecular configurations—by calculating their production yields and identifying distinct rapidity and transverse momentum spectral signatures that can distinguish their true nature.
This paper presents a novel lattice QCD strategy combining non-perturbative data at lighter heavy meson masses with Operator Product Expansion predictions to compute the inclusive decay rate, achieving a 7% total uncertainty using ETMC gauge ensembles.
This paper presents Monte Carlo simulations demonstrating that near-term experiments using 100-TW lasers and existing electron beams can generate highly polarized, mono-energetic gamma rays via inverse Compton scattering to precisely measure the polarization dependence of nonlinear Breit-Wheeler pair production, while future linear collider configurations could further reveal harmonic structures and the perturbative-to-nonperturbative transition.
This paper calculates QCD corrections to charged-current decays involving heavy sterile neutrinos to establish robust perturbative mass ranges and derive constraints on sterile neutrino mixing angles and masses using -decay data, while also highlighting potential tensions in current experimental measurements that could motivate searches for dark-sector particles.
This paper investigates the nonadiabatic time evolution of magnetized charmonia under various time-dependent magnetic field profiles by constructing a multi-channel Landau-Zener Hamiltonian, revealing how Landau-Zener transitions and Stückelberg interference significantly influence state occupation probabilities and providing guidance for future lattice simulations.
This paper proposes a general Simulation-Based Inference framework utilizing Factorizable Normalizing Flows and an amortized training strategy to enable rigorous, fully profiled unbinned likelihood fits of high-dimensional differential distributions while efficiently handling systematic uncertainties and neural network statistical variance.
This paper presents a two-loop galaxy power spectrum calculation within effective field theory that achieves per-mille agreement with N-body simulations up to Mpc, significantly improving cosmological parameter constraints and offering a new probe for ultra-light axion dark matter in upcoming weak lensing surveys.
This paper proposes an open quantum system framework using quantum channels to model spin correlations during hadronization, demonstrating that experimental data aligns with a two-qubit depolarizing channel and offering new insights into confinement dynamics beyond simple entanglement classification.
This paper demonstrates that the dynamical formation of heating waves during bubble wall acceleration invalidates traditional steady-state hydrodynamic predictions, revealing that hydrodynamic obstruction is less restrictive than previously thought and establishing a revised criterion for determining whether walls reach ultra-relativistic velocities.
