This paper compares isospin-symmetric lattice QCD calculations of hadronic vacuum polarization with dispersive results derived from corrected hadronic -decay data, finding generally good agreement overall but revealing significant discrepancies in the four-pion mode when evaluated against expectations from Pais relations and cross sections.
This paper introduces the phenomenological parameter to quantify charge-dependent violations of the Equivalence Principle, establishes a new experimental bound of , and argues that measuring this parameter offers a unique, unexplored pathway to detect new physics beyond minimal gravitational effective field theories.
This paper establishes general proofs for the convergence and sum rules of unpolarized quark and antiquark quasi parton distribution functions (QPDFs) within a broad class of gauge-free covariant quark models, specifically illustrating these findings with the Covariant Parton Model to derive analytical results for small- behavior and energy-momentum tensor form factors.
This paper proposes that ultraheavy nuclei could constitute the highest-energy cosmic rays, offering a consistent explanation for the Amaterasu particle, constraints on source energy generation rates, and the spectral tension between Telescope Array and Pierre Auger Observatory data, while predicting distinct shower maximum depths for future experimental verification.
This paper introduces a novel inclusive-tagging scheme based on an asymptotically recursive vector sequence that enables the first indirect reconstruction of multiple undetected particles, such as neutrinos, in collider experiments, thereby significantly enhancing the precision of Standard Model measurements and the search for new physics.
This paper proposes a gauge extension of the Standard Model featuring a scalar leptoquark, new fermions, and inert scalars to simultaneously explain -meson flavor anomalies, generate neutrino masses, and provide a dark matter candidate, while analyzing constraints from transitions and predicting observables for decays.
This paper calculates the effects of quantum decoherence on maximally entangled fermion pairs at colliders by identifying the relevant Kraus operators with integrated Altarelli-Parisi splitting functions, addressing a factor often neglected in recent LHC measurements of top-quark spin entanglement.
This paper provides a model-independent re-evaluation of cosmological constraints on photophilic axion-like particles with masses below 10 GeV and lifetimes under seconds by incorporating rare hadronic decays and reheating temperature dependencies, revealing extended bounds and potential parameter space to resolve tensions in and deuterium abundance.
This paper presents the first complete analytical derivation of one-loop electroweak and QED corrections to leptonic decays, demonstrating that incorporating these radiative effects resolves the reported violation of CKM unitarity in the second column and highlights the need for improved lattice simulations including QED corrections to further confirm the Standard Model.
By phenomenologically adjusting a holographic D3/D7 system to describe a deconfined yet massive quark phase, this study demonstrates that such matter can form a stiff equation of state capable of supporting stable hybrid stars with quark cores up to 2 solar masses, thereby offering a viable holographic framework for exploring the interiors of heavy compact stars.
