Magnetic moments of strange hidden-bottom pentaquarks and the role of spin flavor correlations

This study investigates the magnetic moments of strange hidden-bottom pentaquark states within the constituent quark model across molecular and compact configurations, finding that their electromagnetic properties are primarily governed by global spin–flavor correlations and light–strange quark dynamics rather than specific internal clustering details due to heavy-quark mass suppression.

Axial-vector neutral-current measurements in coherent elastic neutrino-nucleus scattering experiments

This paper identifies fluorine-based compounds, particularly octafluoropropane, as optimal targets for measuring subleading axial-vector contributions in coherent elastic neutrino-nucleus scattering, demonstrating that such experiments could determine the axial coupling at the 10%\sim 10\% level and probe spin-dependent new physics.

Exploring TΥΥT_{ΥΥ} tetraquark candidates in a coupled-channels formalism

Using a coupled-channels framework derived from a constituent quark model, this study predicts a rich spectrum of resonant and virtual TbbbˉbˉT_{bb\bar{b}\bar{b}} tetraquark candidates exhibiting heavy-quark spin symmetry multiplets, with specific guidance provided for their experimental detection through characteristic decay patterns and widths.

Renormalization and Factorization Scale-Invariant Predictions for the Higgs Rare Decay HJ/ψ+γH\to J/ψ+γ via the Principle of Maximum Conformality

This paper applies the Principle of Maximum Conformality to the next-to-next-to-leading-order perturbative QCD calculation of the rare Higgs decay HJ/ψ+γH\to J/\psi+\gamma, successfully eliminating renormalization and factorization scale ambiguities to provide a robust, scale-invariant prediction for the decay width that offers a precise probe for the charm-quark Yukawa coupling.

Lepton mixing and charged lepton flavour violation from inverse seesaw with non-degenerate heavy states

This paper analyzes an inverse seesaw model with non-degenerate pseudo-Dirac heavy states governed by specific discrete flavor symmetries, finding that while current charged lepton flavor violation limits do not strongly constrain the parameter space compatible with observed lepton mixing, upcoming experiments like Mu3E, COMET, and Mu2e are expected to provide significant tests.

Connecting Flavor and Baryon Asymmetry via Leptogenesis in Effective Froggatt-Nielsen Theory

This paper presents a unified Froggatt-Nielsen effective theory with three right-handed neutrinos and complex coefficients that simultaneously explains fermion flavor hierarchies, neutrino masses, dark matter, and the baryon asymmetry of the Universe, demonstrating that successful thermal leptogenesis is viable in both freeze-in and freeze-out scenarios.
