The paper introduces the Maximal Abelian Flavor Symmetries (MAFS) framework, which explains quark and lepton mass hierarchies and mixing angles using a minimal set of small parameters without arbitrary fermion charges, successfully describing flavor patterns in $SU(5)$ and $SO(10)$ unified theories while linking them to observed baryon asymmetry.
This paper utilizes a Regge framework applied to high-energy polarized photoproduction data from GlueX to achieve the first complete determination of the vector and tensor couplings between the system and the , , and mesons.
This paper presents a unified three-flavor analysis demonstrating that Earth's density stratification and Planck-scale quantum-gravity corrections act as correlated systematic uncertainties in long-baseline neutrino oscillations, where their interplay can significantly bias or even reverse the inferred CP-violating phase, particularly at baselines exceeding 5000 km.
This paper proposes a new mechanism for the annihilation of cosmologically problematic domain walls attached to cosmic strings in global symmetry models, demonstrating that radiative corrections from small bare fermion masses can generate a temperature-dependent bias that triggers the network's decay, using a majoron framework with right-handed neutrinos as a representative example.
This paper investigates the observed shift of the resonance peak in pion-proton femtoscopic correlations by applying a T-matrix approach within the Koonin-Pratt framework to reveal how the finite emission source induces off-shell dynamics, though the model's inability to fully reproduce experimental correlation strength and the absence of a predicted high-momentum dip suggest the need for more complex source descriptions beyond a simple spherical Gaussian approximation.
This paper utilizes the constituent quark model to establish a comprehensive framework demonstrating that excited nucleon () and hyperon () resonances are the key drivers behind the first observed baryonic $CP$ violation in the four-body decay , successfully reproducing the measured branching fraction and $CP$ asymmetry.
Motivated by the recent Belle II measurement of , this paper employs a model-independent effective field theory analysis to constrain right-handed neutrino interactions and predicts correlated enhancements in various branching fractions and polarization observables as testable signatures for future experiments.
This paper proposes a perturbative framework for calculating bound states in QED and QCD by utilizing canonical quantization in temporal gauge, where imposing specific boundary conditions on the longitudinal gauge field generates an instantaneous confining potential that allows for the perturbative calculation of hadrons and explains chiral symmetry breaking.
This paper utilizes the LASSO machine learning method to analyze recent LQCD data within three-flavor NLO Chiral Perturbation Theory, precisely determining the quark mass dependence of pseudoscalar meson decay constants up to 780 MeV and applying these results to predict octet baryon masses in the SU(3) limit.
This paper argues that the detector resolution scale , which determines the energy threshold for unresolved soft photons, acts as a coarse-graining parameter in the reduced density matrix, thereby defining observable infrared memory as a resolution-dependent overlap between soft sectors rather than just an asymptotic property.
