DIS dijet production in Background Field Approach: General formalism and methods

This paper develops a general formalism for computing physical observables in the background field approach by representing propagators as path-ordered exponents, applying it to DIS dijet production to derive a cross section valid in arbitrary kinematics and demonstrating its consistency with known results in both back-to-back and small-xx limits while providing a quantitative matching between these regimes.

Sensitivity of Jet Observables to Molière Scattering Off Quasiparticles in Quark-Gluon Plasma

This paper presents a full calculation of Molière scattering between jet partons and QGP quasiparticles implemented within the Hybrid Model, demonstrating that photon-tagged jets serve as a sensitive probe for detecting distinctive experimental signatures of these hard scatterings through their impact on jet substructure observables like the Soft Drop angle and jet girth.

s-process nucleosynthesis in low-mass AGB stars by the 13^{13}C(α\alpha,n)16^{16}O neutron source

This review traces the evolution of understanding s-process nucleosynthesis in low-mass AGB stars from early nuclear systematics to modern stellar modeling, highlighting how observational constraints necessitated a shift from the high-temperature 22^{22}Ne(α\alpha,n)25^{25}Mg neutron source to the low-temperature 13^{13}C(α\alpha,n)16^{16}O reaction as the primary mechanism for synthesizing elements between Sr and Pb.

Hyperon-Induced Inhomogeneous Pion Condensation and Moat Regimes in Neutron Star Cores

This paper demonstrates that while nuclear matter containing only nucleons remains stable against inhomogeneous pion condensation despite exhibiting a "moat regime" in pseudoscalar correlations, the inclusion of hyperons at high densities can drive these correlations negative, triggering an instability toward an inhomogeneous pion condensate that significantly alters the neutron star equation of state.

Compositness and wave function of shallow bound states in relation to scattering observables

This paper investigates the relationship between the compositeness of shallow bound states and scattering observables using a coupled-channel potential model that incorporates both quark and hadron degrees of freedom, with a specific focus on applying this framework to analyze the internal structure of exotic hadrons such as the X(3872)X(3872), Tcc(3875)T_{cc}(3875), Ds0(2317)D_{s0}(2317), and Ds1(2460)D_{s1}(2460).

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.

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.

Physics-Informed Global Extraction of the Universal Small-xx Dipole Amplitude

This paper presents a physics-informed neural network approach to extract a universal small-xx dipole scattering amplitude directly from global DIS and photoproduction data without rigid parametric assumptions, successfully resolving the long-standing tension between total and charm cross-section channels while providing a smooth, non-negative input for Color Glass Condensate phenomenology.

Complete NLO BFKL impact factors for quarkonium hadroproduction in NRQCD: the case of 1S0[1]{}^1S_0^{[1]}, 1S0[8]{}^1S_0^{[8]}, and 3S1[8]{}^3S_1^{[8]} states

This paper presents the first complete next-to-leading-order calculation of BFKL impact factors for the hadroproduction of specific NRQCD quarkonium states by combining virtual corrections with real-emission contributions, demonstrating the cancellation of soft divergences and the compatibility of surviving collinear singularities with factorization to enable future next-to-leading-logarithmic precision studies.
