This paper investigates how axion condensates within neutron stars, modeled using the BSk26 equation of state, alter the stars' equilibrium structure and radial oscillation spectrum by introducing a distinct family of highly damped axion modes and axion-induced damping effects that could potentially enable neutron star seismology to probe axion properties.
This paper employs gauge/string duality to analyze the string configurations and Born-Oppenheimer potentials of a system, revealing that its ground state can manifest as a hadronic molecule, a tetraquark, or a superposition depending on geometry, while also deriving asymptotic energy expressions and demonstrating string tension universality for multiquark configurations.
This paper proposes a novel neural network-based method for estimating fake lepton backgrounds in high-energy physics by performing density ratio estimation in a high-dimensional feature space, which offers a more precise, flexible, and continuous alternative to traditional binned histogram techniques while reducing binning artifacts and improving extrapolation.
This paper proposes a hybrid resonant leptogenesis mechanism within renormalizable SO(10) grand unified theories, where the quasi-degeneracy of scalar triplet and right-handed neutrino masses naturally enhances the baryon asymmetry through resonant interference between type-I and type-II decay amplitudes, successfully reproducing the observed matter-antimatter asymmetry at the GeV scale while predicting correlated low-energy signatures.
This paper presents a slim, quantized, and parameter-reduced version of the L-GATr jet tagger that achieves an order-of-magnitude reduction in energy cost with only a moderate performance decrease, paving the way for efficient trigger-level jet tagging at the LHC.
This study utilizes the Hadron Resonance Gas model in Partial Chemical Equilibrium to analyze Au+Au collisions at RHIC energies, revealing that baryon annihilation ceases between chemical and kinetic freeze-out and demonstrating that inelastic hadronic interactions significantly shape the final hadron composition.
This paper introduces a novel Physics-Informed Neural Network (PINN) approach that eliminates the need for traditional parameterized forms and separate DGLAP evolution to directly extract non-perturbative parton fragmentation functions from experimental data, demonstrating their accuracy and universal applicability across a wide range of collision energies.
This paper proposes a conjectural framework where topologically nontrivial gluon knots serve as the dynamical core of baryons, unifying quark confinement via the dual Meissner effect and spontaneous chiral symmetry breaking through local chiral condensates, while extending this topological picture to the internal structure of heavy-flavor mesons.
This paper investigates the impact of keV-scale sterile neutrinos, motivated by dark matter and constrained by the exact seesaw relation in a type-I framework, on neutrinoless double beta decay, revealing that their presence significantly modifies the effective mass by eliminating cancellation regions in the normal hierarchy and distorting the parameter space in the inverted hierarchy.
This paper presents an overview of tau lepton physics, highlighting the significance of the super tau-charm factory's energy region through the lens of the tau's discovery and precision measurements, while identifying open issues and future research opportunities.
