While shift-symmetric Horndeski and generalized Proca theories struggle to accommodate the phantom-divide crossing suggested by DESI, CMB, and SN Ia data without theoretical pathologies, the authors demonstrate that breaking shift symmetry in Horndeski theories enables a stable model with a scalar potential and Galileon interactions that successfully realizes this transition at low redshifts.
This paper investigates the impact of nuclear effects on muon- and neutrino-tungsten deep inelastic scattering events at the LHC's FASER and FASER experiments, demonstrating that a simultaneous analysis of inclusive and charm-tagged events can test the universality of nuclear effects and reduce uncertainties in parton distribution functions.
This paper proposes a modified hybrid inflation model where a "softened" stiff period driven by the waterfall field resolves the Big Bang Nucleosynthesis constraints on primordial gravitational wave energy density while still producing a characteristic, observable gravitational wave spectrum.
This study demonstrates that future electron-positron colliders with integrated luminosities up to 1000 fb⁻¹ can significantly extend the discovery reach for first-generation vector-like leptons, probing masses up to approximately 1440 GeV through optimized multilepton signatures that surpass current hadron collider limits.
This paper investigates IceCube DeepCore's capability to detect Non-Standard neutrino Interactions using a model-independent parameterization and evaluates its potential to resolve the tension between T2K and NOvA measurements of the CP-violating phase .
This paper demonstrates that coupling an inflaton to the D-term sectors of chiral superfields, rather than using conventional Yukawa couplings, can enhance the amplitude of stochastic gravitational waves generated during reheating by at least an order of magnitude, thereby highlighting the potential for observing supersymmetric imprints in the gravitational-wave background.
This paper proposes that the resonance is an -wave -- molecular state and supports this hypothesis by calculating its strong decay widths, which reveal a dominant channel and distinctive patterns in multi-pion transitions that serve as experimental signatures for heavy-quark symmetry.
This study demonstrates that the eigen-microstate approach (EMA) serves as a robust, background-independent method for identifying critical fluctuations in relativistic heavy-ion collisions by effectively filtering non-critical correlations and capturing the fractal nature of criticality through characteristic eigenvalue patterns and finite-size scaling behaviors.
Using a non-relativistic potential quark model, this study calculates the inclusive weak decay width of charmed baryons to be approximately GeV, demonstrating that this process, with a signal significantly exceeding background contributions, offers a viable discovery channel for the doubly heavy baryon at the LHC.
This paper establishes a unified theoretical framework for spin-1 particles by discussing spin density matrix bases, introducing equilibrium distributions, and formulating perfect spin hydrodynamics that parallels the existing description for spin-1/2 particles.
