This paper presents a high-precision Standard Model prediction for the inclusive decay branching ratio, , achieved by incorporating complete corrections and exact charm-mass dependence, which aligns with experimental data and sets a 95% confidence level lower bound of 670 GeV on the charged Higgs boson mass in the Two-Higgs-Doublet Model II.
This paper presents the first complete Next-to-Next-to-Leading-Order QCD calculation for the inclusive weak radiative -meson decay with exact dependence on the physical charm quark mass, yielding a Standard Model branching ratio of that is in excellent agreement with experimental measurements.
This paper investigates how the quantum statistical properties of bosonic warm dark matter, specifically the presence of a Bose-Einstein condensate, influence microscopic dark-sector interactions mediated by Yukawa coupling, revealing that a critical condensate fraction determines the transition between thermal and condensate-dominated annihilation regimes and constrains the model's parameter space based on present-day interaction rates.
This paper proposes a unified framework for high-energy particle physics that utilizes quantum steering ellipsoids to geometrically characterize the spin states of reconstructed bipartite systems, enabling the simultaneous tomography of Standard Model properties and the precision detection of entanglement, steerability, and new physics beyond the Standard Model at current and future colliders.
This paper derives finite-range coordinate-space potentials for massive spin-1 and spin-2 bosons with various couplings to Dirac fermions, including novel mixed tensor interactions, and maps these results onto the standard sixteen-potential basis to translate existing experimental limits into constraints on the corresponding coupling products.
This paper demonstrates that chiral imbalance in a quark-gluon plasma enhances the thermal photon emission rate by computing the production rate through a combination of hard scattering contributions and soft contributions calculated via hard thermal loop perturbation theory, while confirming the result's independence from the momentum cut-off.
This paper presents a quantum computing algorithm for calculating fragmentation functions from first-principles QCD, demonstrating its feasibility through a classical simulation of heavy-quark fragmentation into quarkonium that aligns with NRQCD benchmarks.
This paper investigates meson gravitational D-form factors within the three-flavor linear sigma model to demonstrate how symmetry breaking, particularly the anomaly and flavor-dependent mass hierarchies, governs these form factors and provides sensitive probes of low-energy QCD structures.
This paper presents a comprehensive analysis of next-to-leading order QCD corrections to the loop-induced decays of the heavy CP-even Higgs boson into and within the Type-I Two-Higgs-Doublet Model, revealing that these corrections are dominated by top-quark loops, typically range from -20% to +20% (with larger effects in non-alignment scenarios), and may become crucial for interpreting future HL-LHC exclusion bounds despite current data not yet constraining the parameter space.
Using transverse-momentum-dependent QCD factorization, this paper demonstrates that jet-induced anisotropy at the Electron-Ion Collider imposes a parity selection rule on polarized asymmetries, fundamentally altering the expected left-right and up-down symmetries of structure functions like the Sivers and worm-gear distributions across different harmonic orders.
