Circular stable orbits in f(R)f(R) realistic static and spherically-symmetric spacetimes

This paper numerically investigates geodesic structures in static, spherically symmetric neutron star spacetimes within the quadratic Starobinsky f(R)f(R) gravity model, revealing that stable circular orbits for massive particles exist in discrete radial bands sensitive to stellar properties and the model parameter, while no photon spheres are found outside the star.

BPS vortex from nonpolynomial scalar QED in a \mathdsCP1\mathds{C}\mathrm{P}^1-Maxwell theory

This paper investigates a generalized gauged \mathdsCP1\mathds{C}\mathrm{P}^1-Maxwell theory where integrating out a massive Dirac fermion induces a non-polynomial, logarithmic magnetic permeability, enabling the derivation of BPS vortex solutions with quantized magnetic flux that highlight the interplay between target-space geometry and the induced permeability.

Nuclear Deformation Effects on Charmonium Suppression in Au+Au and U+U Collisions

This study demonstrates that while intrinsic nuclear deformation in U+U collisions has a negligible effect on the overall charmonium yield suppression compared to Au+Au collisions, it significantly influences charmonium momentum anisotropy and distinguishes between tip-tip and body-body collision configurations, with these effects being more pronounced for excited states due to their lower binding energies.

General Hamiltonian Approach to the N\mathbf{N}-Body Finite-Volume Formalism: Extracting the ω\mathbf{\omega} Resonance Parameters from Lattice QCD

This paper introduces a nonperturbative Hamiltonian framework that rigorously connects finite-volume lattice QCD spectra to experimental scattering observables, successfully demonstrating its utility by extracting robust resonance parameters for the ω\omega meson through a unified analysis of coupled $3\piand and 2\pi$ systems.

Higher-order hadronic vacuum polarization contribution to the muon g2g-2 from lattice QCD

This paper presents the first sub-percent precision lattice QCD calculation of the next-to-leading order hadronic vacuum polarization contribution to the muon anomalous magnetic moment, yielding a result of 101.69(25)stat(53)syst×1011-101.69(25)_{\mathrm{stat}}(53)_{\mathrm{syst}}\times10^{-11} that is twice as precise as the 2025 White Paper estimate and shows a significant 4.8σ\sigma tension with data-driven evaluations excluding the CMD-3 measurement.

Thermalization of Neutrinos in a Neutron Star Merger Simulation

This study demonstrates that while Monte Carlo neutrino transport in neutron star mergers confirms thermalization in hot, dense regions, significant non-equilibrium deviations in moderately warm zones reveal that energy-averaged agreement with thermal assumptions is insufficient for accurately predicting weak interaction rates and composition evolution.

Flash from the Past: New Gamma-Ray Constraints on Light CP-even Scalar from SN1987A

This paper establishes new constraints on the mixing angle of light CP-even scalars with the Standard Model Higgs boson by analyzing non-detections of gamma-ray excess from SN1987A in historical Solar Maximum Mission satellite data, which would have resulted from scalars produced via nucleon bremsstrahlung and subsequently decaying into photons.

Probing the CP Property of ALP-photon Interactions at Future Lepton Colliders

This paper investigates how future lepton colliders can probe the CP properties of axion-like particle (ALP) interactions with photons by analyzing the azimuthal angle difference between final-state electrons in the e+ee+eγγe^+e^- \to e^+e^- \gamma\gamma process, demonstrating that this observable can distinguish between CP-conserving, CP-violating, and mixed interaction structures with projected sensitivities exceeding current electron electric dipole moment constraints.
