This review examines a decade of theoretical and experimental advancements in muon physics, highlighting global efforts to enhance sensitivity in studying muon decays, magnetic and electric dipole moments, and charged lepton flavor violation to probe New Physics scenarios and guide future facility proposals.
This paper establishes a new benchmark for heavy-quark TMD resummation at the LHC by developing a framework that combines SCET and HQET to achieve NNLL' accuracy for the azimuthal decorrelation of boosted top quark pairs, a feat made possible by the first extraction of the two-loop ultra-collinear function.
This paper resolves the tension between local Markovian string-breaking dynamics and global conservation constraints in hadronization by recasting the process as a conditioned stochastic diffusion, where conservation laws induce non-Markovian correlations that are exactly absorbed via a Doob -transform to establish a systematic tower of effective field theories with Wilsonian structure.
This paper provides an introduction and overview of light meson form factors, covering their classical and quantum field theory foundations, main theoretical methods, and specific discussions on pion, kaon, eta, and eta' form factors.
This paper demonstrates that Big Bang nucleosynthesis constraints on GeV-scale heavy neutral leptons within the neutrino-extended Standard Model Effective Field Theory provide a crucial upper bound on the theory's cutoff scale for masses above 100 MeV, thereby defining specific target regions for future laboratory searches.
This paper reports the most precise theoretical predictions for the total cross section at the LHC, combining NNLO QCD corrections with NNLL soft-gluon resummation and complete NLO electroweak corrections.
This paper proposes a mass-varying scenario coupling active and sterile neutrinos to a scalar field, which generates keV-scale sterile neutrino dark matter while simultaneously alleviating the Hubble tension and offering a parameter space fully testable by future X-ray missions.
This paper proposes a minimalistic model containing four scalar multiplets to simultaneously explain multiple excesses observed at the LHC (notably at 95 GeV and 650 GeV), arguing that these hints disfavor common scalar extensions while predicting specific charged scalars that make the theory testable and falsifiable despite current data limitations.
This paper proposes "blast-frozen dark matter," a scenario where a first-order phase transition rapidly generates dark matter mass and induces distinctive oscillations in density perturbations that could be detected by next-generation cosmological surveys.
This paper presents a novel likelihood framework that utilizes the high-energy KM3-230213A neutrino event alongside multi-messenger constraints to establish the most stringent limits to date on super-heavy dark matter lifetimes () while highlighting the critical potential of galactic neutrino flux measurements for future dark matter research.
