This paper employs a light-front quark model based on the Bethe-Salpeter formalism to calculate the time-like electromagnetic form factors of , , and hyperons, demonstrating that the results, including effective form factors and the ratio of electric to magnetic form factors at specific values, closely match experimental data from the BESIII collaboration.
This paper demonstrates that transversely polarized electron-positron collisions serve as a powerful tool for generating and controlling quantum entanglement in fermion pairs, producing maximally entangled states in QED processes and significantly enhancing entanglement in electroweak and Bhabha scattering scenarios.
This paper investigates the production and prompt decay of axion-like particles (ALPs) with lepton-flavour-violating couplings in the mass regime above the muon threshold, proposing new search strategies across meson, gauge boson, quarkonium, and tau decays to leverage the distinctive signature and assess the discovery potential of future high-energy and fixed-target experiments.
Using anisotropic lattice QCD ensembles with Wilson-clover fermions, the study finds evidence for the effective restoration of symmetry at a temperature of MeV, which is significantly higher than the chiral crossover temperature.
This paper demonstrates that holographic QCD can be exactly matched to perturbative QCD at a fixed scale by deriving a factorized Compton amplitude where the universal ultraviolet photon vertex reproduces the Wilson coefficients of the singlet conformal operator product expansion, thereby extending vacuum current-correlator matching to the off-forward hadronic current-current correlator relevant for DDVCS/DVCS.
This paper demonstrates that in the collinear regime, holographic double deeply virtual Compton scattering (DDVCS) amplitudes derived from Witten diagrams structurally match the -basis Wilson coefficients of perturbative QCD at a fixed scale, with the open and closed string channels corresponding to the and eigenchannels respectively, governed by a universal hypergeometric hard kernel and distinct branch-point structures.
This paper demonstrates that the SU(3)C × SU(3)L × U(1)N model with right-handed neutrinos naturally provides a testable TeV-scale framework for sub-MeV dark matter, where a pseudo-Goldstone boson acquires a tiny mass via gravitational effects and achieves the observed relic abundance through freeze-in in a low-reheating temperature scenario without requiring tiny couplings.
This paper proposes that strong gravitational lensing of Fast Radio Bursts (FRBs) by core-collapsed Self-Interacting Dark Matter (SIDM) subhalos can effectively probe small-scale dark matter structures and constrain self-interaction cross-sections, leveraging the enhanced lensing cross-sections and longer time delays predicted for these collapsed halos compared to standard Cold Dark Matter models.
This paper demonstrates that the OmniLearned particle physics foundation model, pre-trained on high-energy collision data, can be effectively transferred to low-energy fixed-target neutrino experiments to outperform models trained from scratch on tasks like energy regression and pion classification, thereby validating the potential for detector-agnostic inference across vastly different energy scales and physics processes.
Using PLUTO magnetohydrodynamical simulations with realistic parameters, this study demonstrates that acoustic instability in cosmic-ray-modified shock precursors can amplify small density perturbations into large nonlinear structures, thereby generating turbulent magnetic fluctuations essential for particle acceleration.
