This paper proposes a method to extract short-distance information and resolve discrete ambiguities in the Standard Model prediction for by analyzing time-integrated and time-dependent CP asymmetries, demonstrating that an LHCb-like experiment could constrain the relevant short-distance amplitude to within 35% of its Standard Model value and resolve the ambiguity at over 3 significance.
This paper utilizes the Fisher matrix formalism to demonstrate that next-generation gravitational wave detectors, such as Cosmic Explorer and the Einstein Telescope, will be capable of distinguishing primordial black holes from exotic compact objects and neutron stars by detecting sub-solar masses out to redshifts of and tidal effects up to .
This paper proposes a first-principles framework using gradient flow and renormalization group transformations to analytically derive confinement in QCD, demonstrating that a scale-invariant gluon condensate drives the running coupling to an infrared fixed point consistent with infrared slavery.
This paper presents a comprehensive study of the Muonic Portal to Vector Dark Matter model, demonstrating its ability to simultaneously explain dark matter relic abundance and muon anomalies through a novel velocity-suppression mechanism while establishing stringent collider bounds on vector-like muon masses and predicting distinctive multi-lepton signatures for future searches.
This paper employs next-to-leading order QCD sum rules with covariant derivative currents and dimension-8 condensates to systematically calculate the masses of light excited mesons, successfully reproducing experimental data for various nonets and demonstrating the effectiveness of this approach for studying excited hadrons.
This paper proposes and validates an alternative method for reconstructing one-dimensional kinematic distributions from high-dimensional Monte Carlo simulations by approximating them with weighted sums of orthogonal basis functions, which yields smooth results, eliminates bin-to-bin fluctuations, and allows for optimized basis construction using leading-order perturbative information.
This paper evaluates the discovery potential of the tetraquark decaying into at LHCb, finding that a observation is feasible during Run 4 for optimistic production cross sections but would require the full Run 5 dataset for more realistic estimates, while remaining unobservable under conservative scenarios.
This paper demonstrates that the minimal majoron framework can simultaneously explain neutrino masses, dark matter, and the matter-antimatter asymmetry by identifying a cosmologically viable parameter space where high-scale thermal leptogenesis constrains the majoron abundance and couplings, making the scenario testable by future X- and gamma-ray telescopes.
This study demonstrates through spherical core-collapse supernova simulations of various progenitor masses that flavor conversion can either enhance or suppress explosion success by altering neutrino heating efficiency, depending critically on whether the conversion occurs near the gain region or the neutrino decoupling region, regardless of the progenitor's mass or compactness.
This paper employs chiral perturbation theory to calculate the next-to-leading order renormalized magnetic masses and decay constants for the meson octet in a uniform magnetic field, revealing that neutral kaon masses remain unaltered while charged meson masses and all decay constants increase monotonically, with results validated by newly constructed low-energy theorems.
