This paper demonstrates that charm quarks produced in the early pre-equilibrium glasma stage of high-energy proton-nucleus collisions acquire significant elliptic flow () through interactions with non-Abelian fields, suggesting that pre-hydrodynamic dynamics play a crucial role in the observed heavy-flavor collectivity in small systems.
This study utilizes a cosmological hydrodynamic simulation to demonstrate that a sub-component of dissipative Atomic Dark Matter enhances the central density of satellite galaxies, thereby delaying the formation of stellar streams, prolonging their star formation, and altering their chemical abundance patterns compared to standard Cold Dark Matter models.
This paper demonstrates that neglecting the regeneration of high-energy gamma rays via inverse Compton scattering by secondary electrons and positrons during propagation can lead to significant underestimations of the observed flux from distant dark matter annihilation, thereby necessitating a more detailed treatment of these effects to derive accurate indirect detection limits.
This paper presents an open-source C++ implementation of a holographic Einstein-Maxwell-Dilaton model with improved numerical stability to quantify uncertainties in various transport coefficients and energy loss parameters across the QCD phase diagram by propagating lattice QCD constraints via Bayesian sampling.
This study demonstrates that an X-ray free-electron laser Compton collider operating at GeV could probe the Higgs self-coupling with a precision of 7% to 12% in the channel by employing boosted decision trees and genetic algorithm optimization, establishing it as a powerful complementary tool to future and hadron colliders for investigating electroweak symmetry breaking.
This paper utilizes an quiver gauge theory to classify and predict four distinct scenarios of additional TeV-scale particles that could be discovered during the Run 4 of the upgraded LHC, which is scheduled to begin in 2030.
This paper analyzes the stability and causality of relativistic spin hydrodynamics with a nonvanishing spin-density background, demonstrating that while first-order theories exhibit acausal behavior at high wave-vectors, the minimal causal framework resolves this issue by revealing complex, direction-dependent stability conditions that prevent simultaneous satisfaction of stability and causality in certain regimes.
This paper demonstrates that accounting for a non-instantaneous reheating phase after inflation significantly alters the charged lepton Yukawa equilibration temperature, thereby necessitating a revision of flavor regimes in leptogenesis models where right-handed neutrinos are produced and decay during this extended period.
This paper investigates the thermal modification of the decay in a hot hadronic medium, finding that the dominant effect is a kinematic suppression of the decay width and significant distortion of Dalitz distributions caused by the temperature-induced reduction of the parent mass, which compresses the available phase space.
This paper investigates the twist-2 and twist-3 light-cone distribution amplitudes of vector mesons within a self-consistent light-front quark model, revealing that flavor symmetry breaking significantly impacts twist-3 amplitudes while demonstrating that spin independence emerges in the heavy quark limit, causing the distribution amplitudes of vector and pseudoscalar mesons to converge.
