This paper presents the first complete numerical solution to the BDMPS-Z equations for in-medium QCD splittings, providing a precise determination of splitting functions that goes beyond standard soft, large-, and harmonic-oscillator approximations by incorporating finite-energy effects, subleading-color contributions, and realistic parton-medium interactions.
This paper demonstrates that incorporating future parity-violating deep-inelastic scattering pseudodata into global QCD analyses will significantly constrain the weak mixing angle at low and high- parton distributions, highlighting the critical need for simultaneous electroweak and QCD analysis to avoid biased results.
The paper introduces Parnassus, a public, GPU-enabled Python/PyTorch framework that offers fast, interchangeable detector simulation and reconstruction models for various particle physics experiments, providing a ROOT-free alternative to traditional tools like Geant4 and Delphes.
Motivated by the proposed NuDoubt++ experiment, this paper analyzes positron-emitting and electron-capturing double-beta decay in candidate isotopes Kr, Cd, and Xe by providing nuclear matrix elements and phase-space factors for both standard and neutrinoless modes, demonstrating that these processes can probe lepton-number-violating new physics at scales of 1–100 TeV and resolve operator degeneracies when combined with conventional double-beta decay searches.
This paper demonstrates that the Kogut-Susskind Hamiltonian emerges as the infinite scalar mass limit of the more efficient orbifold lattice formulation, thereby resolving implementation challenges and enabling digital quantum simulations of SU() Yang-Mills theories with exponential speedup over classical and prior quantum methods.
This white paper summarizes the landscape of new physics opportunities beyond neutrino oscillations at current and future accelerator, atmospheric, and reactor neutrino facilities, with a particular focus on East Asian programs and next-generation sensitivities as presented at the NPN 2024 workshop.
This paper demonstrates that the proposed Large Hadron Electron Collider (LHeC) can significantly improve the precision of Standard Model couplings to the percent level and constrain anomalous tensor interactions through a detailed analysis of the process in the semileptonic decay channel, offering competitive sensitivity to future hadron and lepton colliders.
By performing a joint analysis of DESI DR2, CMB, DESY5 supernova, and DESY1 weak lensing data within a dynamical dark energy framework, this study reports a high-confidence detection of a positive total neutrino mass of , driven by DESI's preference for evolving dark energy and the inclusion of free effective neutrino species and weak lensing constraints.
This paper demonstrates that the curvature of the freeze-out hypersurface in relativistic heavy-ion collisions induces a nonzero tensor spin polarization in massive vector bosons, with the effect becoming significantly stronger in smaller collision systems like central O-O collisions, thereby offering a potential geometric probe for spin-alignment measurements.
This paper demonstrates that the severe partial-wave unitarity violations found in non-relativistic radiative bound-state formation calculations are resolved by properly resumming the inelastic contributions to the incoming state's self-energy.
