This paper summarizes the ISO-BREAK 25 workshop held in Kielce in October 2025, which reviewed the current status of isospin-symmetry breaking observed by NA61/SHINE in nucleus-nucleus collisions, discussed its confirmation by other experiments, and outlined future experimental and theoretical priorities to explain this phenomenon.
This paper proposes a novel high-luminosity experimental approach using tagged hyperons produced in proton-proton collisions within a nested-target setup to precisely measure hyperon-nucleon interactions, thereby addressing the uncertainties in the equation of state that underlie the hyperon puzzle in neutron stars.
This study estimates pulsar beaming fractions across radio, X-ray, and gamma-ray bands using TeV-selected pulsar wind nebulae and unidentified sources, revealing survey-dependent variations likely caused by selection effects and pulsar age differences, which can be reconciled within a unified framework employing a time-dependent opening angle.
This paper presents a systematic study of semi-leptonic Higgs decays to electroweak gauge bosons at NLO QCD and electroweak accuracy, demonstrating that while finite fermion masses and higher-order corrections significantly modify angular observables, the process retains an effective two-qutrit description suitable for quantum tomography and entanglement analysis.
This paper presents the first beyond-next-to-leading-order study of the process by developing a complete four-dimensional tensor decomposition, evaluating one-loop polarized amplitudes analytically to higher orders in the dimensional regulator, and establishing an efficient numerical framework for five-point Feynman integrals to enable future NNLO predictions for radiative return processes.
This paper demonstrates that energetic final-state radiation induces decoherence and significantly reduces the entanglement of fermion-antifermion pairs produced at colliders, with statistically significant experimental signals predicted for current datasets from production at the LHC and production at Belle 2.
This study utilizes the PHQMD approach with a novel momentum-dependent potential to demonstrate that a soft, momentum-dependent nuclear equation of state best reproduces experimental flow data for protons and light clusters in intermediate-energy heavy-ion collisions, while also revealing distinct flow signatures that can help discriminate between different cluster formation mechanisms.
This paper proposes a method to probe new physics in decays by analyzing the angular distribution of the full cascade , demonstrating through simulated data that this approach can constrain right-handed and tensor current couplings with approximately 5–6% precision while incorporating recent lattice QCD form factor correlations.
This paper analyzes recent NOA and T2K data to test the non-unitary mixing hypothesis, providing updated best-fit parameters and tighter constraints on unitary violation while demonstrating that non-standard parameters can alleviate tensions between the experiments, alongside a projection of future sensitivities for NOA, T2K, and DUNE.
This paper demonstrates that detecting tau neutrinos at the DUNE far detector significantly enhances sensitivity to Non-Standard Interactions, particularly the parameter, while also improving constraints on mass hierarchy, CP violation, mixing octants, and the unitarity of the PMNS matrix.
