This paper introduces FTFT, a new set of Pythia8 parameters optimized for simulating open charm and beauty production in fixed-target collisions at GeV by fitting differential distributions to experimental data and applying beam-specific K-factors to improve predictions for neutrino fluxes and hidden-particle yields in beam-dump experiments like SHiP.
This paper presents a comparative study of Higgs boson pair production in SMEFT at NLO QCD, demonstrating that while some Wilson coefficient scenarios remain valid under linear truncation, others with large anomalous couplings produce unphysical differential cross sections, thereby exposing the necessity of including quadratic dimension-6 contributions to accurately capture shape distortions in kinematic distributions.
This paper proposes a novel 4D spacetime tracking strategy for the High-Luminosity LHC that leverages 30 ps timing resolution to efficiently detect ultra-compressed scotogenic dark matter via delayed low- leptons, enabling the exclusion of scalar masses up to GeV with zero background.
This paper demonstrates that within a heavy-mass expansion framework, the finite width of the top quark causes the dissolution of distinct radial spectroscopy peaks in single-top mesonic correlations, replacing a resolvable multi-peak spectrum with broad threshold enhancements and modified color flow signatures.
This paper employs Bayesian analysis combined with the Principle of Maximum Conformality to estimate the uncalculated QCD contribution to the hadronic -boson decay width, yielding a precise branching ratio of that aligns with experimental data.
This paper demonstrates that a left-right model with inverse seesaw neutrinos can simultaneously explain the observed discrepancies in the anomalous magnetic moments of electrons and muons via heavy singly charged Higgs boson contributions while naturally suppressing lepton-flavor violating decays due to the underlying gauge symmetry.
Using 10.7 years of high-energy upward-going muon neutrino data from the IceCube Neutrino Observatory, this study places the strongest or previously unexplored constraints on low-scale gravity scenarios by limiting the compactification radius of large extra dimensions and the number of Standard Model copies.
This paper proposes a constituent approach model that correlates hadron decay widths with their masses, demonstrating that the X(2370) state is consistent with being a pseudoscalar glueball while also identifying the f(2150) and f(2300) as promising tensor glueball candidates.
This paper revisits the three-loop calculation of the Debye screening mass in hot QCD by applying recent advances in canonical forms of thermal integrands to streamline the reduction strategy and simplify future high-order calculations.
Using a three-flavor Nambu–Jona-Lasinio model with proper-time regularization, this study investigates the kaon's gravitational form factors and mechanical structure, revealing that explicit flavor-symmetry breaking leads to a dominant strange-quark contribution, a less negative -term, and more compact mechanical distributions with enhanced central pressure compared to the pion.
