Matter- and magnetically-driven flavor conversion of neutrinos in magnetorotational collapses

Using 3D neutrino-magnetohydrodynamic simulations of a magnetorotational collapse, this study reveals that neutrino flavor conversion is driven by both matter effects and magnetic interactions, leading to significant orientation-dependent event rates at neutrino telescopes that are crucial for interpreting joint neutrino and gravitational wave detections.

Dark matter trio in classically conformal theories: WIMP, supercooling, and monopole

This paper explores a classically conformal SU(2)XSU(2)_X gauge theory with a triplet dark scalar, identifying three distinct dark matter scenarios—WIMP, supercooled DM, and monopole—that arise from the model's unique first-order phase transition history and analyzing their viability against current constraints and future experimental sensitivities.

A detailed analysis of possible new-physics effects in semileptonic decays Bs→Ds(∗)τνˉB_s \to D_s^{(*)}\tau\bar{\nu}

This paper investigates potential new physics effects in the semileptonic decays Bs→Ds(∗)τνˉB_s \to D_s^{(*)}\tau\bar{\nu} by calculating hadronic form factors within a covariant quark model, constraining Wilson coefficients of four-fermion operators using recent experimental data, and providing theoretical predictions for observables to guide future tests.

Production of muonic kaon atoms at high-energy colliders

This paper presents a theoretical framework and experimental feasibility study demonstrating that muonic kaon atoms can be produced via D0D^0 decays and quark-gluon plasma coalescence at high-energy colliders, offering a novel probe for low-momentum primordial muons and early-time electromagnetic radiation with projected yields sufficient for their first observation.

Scattering of ΛcΛc\Lambda_{c}\Lambda_{c} and ΛcΛˉc\Lambda_{c}\bar{\Lambda}_{c} in chiral effective field theory

Using a unified chiral effective field theory framework calibrated with lattice QCD data, this study predicts repulsive interactions for the ΛcΛc\Lambda_c\Lambda_c system while identifying strong attractive forces in the ΛcΛˉc\Lambda_c\bar{\Lambda}_c system that support bound states, with significant mass splitting between channels driven by two-pion exchange spin-spin terms.
