This paper analyzes the vacuum structure of the Babu-Nandi-Tavartkiladze model, establishing theoretical constraints on scalar potentials and demonstrating that while simple mass inequalities guarantee global stability in specific limits, the general electroweak vacuum requires a case-by-case assessment due to the potential existence of deeper charge-breaking minima.
Using Einstein@Home computing resources to analyze LIGO data from observing runs O3a through O4a, this study conducts the most sensitive search to date for continuous gravitational waves from three central compact objects in supernova remnants, setting unprecedented constraints on their ellipticity and crustal anisotropy while identifying a single surviving candidate from G347.3-0.5 that warrants further investigation with upcoming data.
Using the perturbative QCD approach, this paper analyzes resonance contributions from and mesons and their excited states to the three-body decays , revealing that virtual contributions from the tails of and are comparable to those from higher resonances and thus constitute a significant component of these decays.
This paper presents the first constraints on sub-asteroid mass primordial black holes as dark matter using high-energy neutrino data from IceCube and ANTARES, establishing independent limits that future detectors like IceCube-Gen2 and KM3NeT could significantly improve.
This paper presents a comprehensive framework for modeling complex systems of oscillating and decaying neutrinos using open quantum system methods, specifically demonstrating that the Lindblad master equation, Liouvillian superoperator, and Kraus operators offer a fully general and numerically superior approach compared to traditional differential equation solutions.
This paper presents a unified framework within the NuWro Monte Carlo generator that consistently treats final-state interactions in quasielastic lepton-nucleus scattering by combining convolution-based inclusive calculations with an event-level cascade classification, significantly improving agreement with both inclusive electron-scattering data and exclusive MicroBooNE measurements.
Using a soft-wall holographic QCD model with an AdS-RN metric, this study reveals that combined rotation and finite chemical potential induce spatially inhomogeneous chiral condensation and additively suppress the chiral phase transition temperature, creating a position-dependent phase structure relevant to non-central heavy-ion collisions.
This paper characterizes the entanglement dynamics of helicity degrees of freedom in QED scattering processes by modeling them as quantum maps derived from discrete symmetries, demonstrating that maximal entanglement is preserved for fermion-only interactions and that iterative application of these maps typically drives arbitrary initial states toward asymptotic maximally entangled fixed points.
This paper proposes an analytic formalism for a non-minimally coupled inflationary model involving derivative interactions between gravity and a scalar field, demonstrating that it successfully generates scalar spectral index and tensor-to-scalar ratio values consistent with ACT and Planck observations across a wide range of inflaton potentials without encountering singularities in the slow-roll regime.
This paper presents a brief biography of William A. Bardeen (1941–2025), an American theoretical physicist at Fermilab renowned for his foundational contributions to the chiral anomaly, quantum chromodynamics, dynamical electroweak symmetry breaking, and heavy-light quark bound states.
