DIS dijet production in Background Field Approach: General formalism and methods

This paper develops a general formalism for computing physical observables in the background field approach by representing propagators as path-ordered exponents, applying it to DIS dijet production to derive a cross section valid in arbitrary kinematics and demonstrating its consistency with known results in both back-to-back and small-xx limits while providing a quantitative matching between these regimes.

Explicit or Implicit? Encoding Physics at the Precision Frontier

This paper compares explicit symmetry encoding (L-GATr) and implicit structure learning (OmniLearn) in particle physics, finding that both approaches achieve comparable performance across challenging tasks like unfolding and anomaly detection, suggesting that efficiency gains from encoding known physics structures are largely method-independent.

Analytic next-to-leading order electroweak corrections to Higgs boson pair production at high energies

This paper presents a complete analytic calculation of next-to-leading order electroweak corrections to gluon-induced Higgs boson pair production in the high-energy limit, demonstrating that these corrections reduce the cross-section by approximately 10% and providing precise numerical results down to low transverse momenta.

Sensitivity of Jet Observables to Molière Scattering Off Quasiparticles in Quark-Gluon Plasma

This paper presents a full calculation of Molière scattering between jet partons and QGP quasiparticles implemented within the Hybrid Model, demonstrating that photon-tagged jets serve as a sensitive probe for detecting distinctive experimental signatures of these hard scatterings through their impact on jet substructure observables like the Soft Drop angle and jet girth.

Black hole scalar sirens in the Milky Way

This paper proposes that spinning black holes in the Milky Way can act as persistent "scalar sirens" by ejecting light scalar particles via superradiant instability, thereby generating a detectable, high-velocity scalar background that offers a novel, independent probe of isolated black hole populations and scalar field properties.

The ultrafine splitting of heavy quarkonium with next-to-next-to-next-to-next-to-leading-order accuracy

This paper presents a theoretical computation of the hyperfine splitting for P-wave heavy quarkonium states with next-to-next-to-next-to-next-to-leading-order accuracy and next-to-next-to-next-to-next-to-leading-logarithmic resummation, followed by a phenomenological analysis applied to bottomonium, charmonium, the BcB_c system, and various leptonic and atomic systems.

Quantum state tomography, entanglement detection and Bell violation prospects in weak decays of massive particles

This paper presents a general method for reconstructing the spin density matrix of multi-particle systems from angular decay data using Bloch parameterization and Wigner-Weyl transforms, and applies it to Monte Carlo simulations of massive particle decays to propose measurements for detecting entanglement and Bell inequality violations.

Analytic formulae for non-local magic in bipartite systems of qutrits and ququints

This paper conjectures analytic expressions for the non-local magic of bipartite pure qudit states with prime local dimensions, supported by numerical evidence for qutrits and ququints, while demonstrating that these expressions fail for composite dimensions and that established qubit relations between non-local magic and entanglement do not generalize to higher-dimensional systems.

Modified Teukolsky formalism: Null testing and numerical benchmarking

This paper validates a modified Teukolsky framework for predicting gravitational-wave ringdown spectra in effective field theories by successfully passing two rigorous null tests and confirming consistency between two independent numerical methods, thereby establishing its reliability for future strong-field tests of General Relativity.

New axion bounds derived from the 100-parsec Gaia DR3 white dwarf luminosity function

Using the high-quality 100-parsec Gaia DR3 white dwarf sample and advanced population synthesis models, this study derives a stringent upper limit on the axion-electron coupling (gae<1.68×1013g_{ae} < 1.68 \times 10^{-13} at 95% C.L.), effectively ruling out the previously suggested range of couplings that implied axion-induced cooling.

Hyperon-Induced Inhomogeneous Pion Condensation and Moat Regimes in Neutron Star Cores

This paper demonstrates that while nuclear matter containing only nucleons remains stable against inhomogeneous pion condensation despite exhibiting a "moat regime" in pseudoscalar correlations, the inclusion of hyperons at high densities can drive these correlations negative, triggering an instability toward an inhomogeneous pion condensate that significantly alters the neutron star equation of state.

Discovering gravitational waveform distortions from lensing: a deep dive into GW231123

Using the deep-learning algorithm DINGO-lensing to overcome computational limitations, this study reanalyzes the gravitational wave candidate GW231123 with over 200,000 simulations and concludes that it is not a lensed event due to its statistical significance falling below 4σ\sigma, while highlighting the critical impact of waveform systematics and the potential for future discoveries with improved detection statistics.

Polaron formation as the vertex function problem: From Dyck's paths to self-energy Feynman diagrams

This paper introduces an iterative, algorithmic framework that utilizes Dyck paths and Stieltjes-Rogers polynomials to systematically generate all self-energy Feynman diagrams for the single-polaron problem with arbitrary linear coupling, thereby enabling efficient, unbiased diagrammatic Monte Carlo simulations by eliminating stochastic weighting across topologies.
