Beyond Leading Logarithms in gVg_V: The Semileptonic Weak Hamiltonian at O(ααs2)\mathcal{O}(α\,α_s^2)

This paper presents the first next-to-leading-logarithmic QCD analysis of electromagnetic corrections to the semileptonic weak Hamiltonian, calculating mixed O(ααs2)\mathcal{O}(\alpha\alpha_s^2) corrections to the vector coupling gVg_V to yield a refined radiative correction value that enhances the consistency of first-row CKM unitarity tests.

Pseudogauge ambiguity in the distributions of energy density, pressure, and shear force inside the nucleon

This paper investigates the spatial distributions of energy density, pressure, and shear forces within a two-flavor Skyrme model including vector mesons, revealing that the energy-momentum tensor's pseudo-gauge dependence—arising from nonvanishing surface terms of spin currents—causes significant differences between canonical and Belinfante forms, including singularities in the canonical pressure and shear-force distributions at the nucleon center.

Constraining the Energy Momentum Tensor through DVCS Dispersion Relation beyond Leading Power

This paper demonstrates that kinematic power corrections in deeply virtual Compton scattering dispersion relations provide a novel experimental constraint on nucleon momentum, pressure, and total angular momentum distributions, with continuum and lattice-QCD predictions indicating that momentum distributions account for approximately one-third of the signal at Q2=2GeV2Q^2 = 2\textrm{GeV}^2.

Dispersion relations of deeply virtual Compton scattering: investigating twist-4 kinematic power corrections

This paper demonstrates that including twist-four kinematic power corrections modifies the subtracted constants in deeply virtual Compton scattering dispersion relations, causing the helicity-conserving amplitude to depend on double distributions in addition to the DD-term, a mixing effect that significantly impacts the extraction of pressure forces from Jefferson Lab data.

Impact of new results from the ultraperipheral collision on modeling the proton and neutron emission in photon-induced nuclear processes

This paper utilizes a hybrid theoretical model combining equivalent photon approximations, GiBUU pre-equilibrium dynamics, and statistical decay frameworks to analyze new ALICE ultraperipheral collision data, successfully explaining proton and neutron emission patterns in photon-induced nuclear processes, particularly the near-maximal cross-section for single-proton emission and the high-energy tail of neutron distributions.

Trigonometric continuous-variable gates and hybrid quantum simulations of the sine-Gordon model

This paper introduces a new universality paradigm for hybrid qubit-qumode quantum computing based on trigonometric continuous-variable gates, demonstrating their effectiveness through a deterministic ancilla-based implementation and a successful simulation of the lattice sine-Gordon model, including ground state preparation, real-time dynamics, and kink profile extraction.

Axial-vector neutral-current measurements in coherent elastic neutrino-nucleus scattering experiments

This paper identifies fluorine-based compounds, particularly octafluoropropane, as optimal targets for measuring subleading axial-vector contributions in coherent elastic neutrino-nucleus scattering, demonstrating that such experiments could determine the axial coupling at the 10%\sim 10\% level and probe spin-dependent new physics.

Effects of isovector spin-orbit interaction on the charge-weak form factor difference in 48^{48}Ca, 208^{208}Pb, 90^{90}Zr and 62^{62}Ni

This study demonstrates that the charge-weak form factor difference in 48^{48}Ca and 90^{90}Zr is highly sensitive to the isovector spin-orbit interaction due to specific shell structures, whereas 208^{208}Pb and 62^{62}Ni remain insensitive, thereby guiding a strategic approach to use parity-violating electron scattering on these distinct nuclei to separately constrain the isovector spin-orbit strength and the symmetry energy slope.

Scattering and Femtoscopic Correlation Functions of the Σc++π+Σ_c^{++}π^{+} and Σb+π+Σ_b^{+}π^{+} Systems

This paper presents predictions for the scattering observables and femtoscopic correlation functions of the I=2I=2 Σc++π+\Sigma_c^{++}\pi^{+} and Σb+π+\Sigma_b^{+}\pi^{+} systems within two theoretical frameworks constrained by heavy-flavor resonances, revealing that while strong-interaction models exhibit significant differences, the inclusion of repulsive Coulomb effects largely suppresses the sensitivity of correlation functions to these underlying strong dynamics.

Emergent Gribov horizon from replica symmetry breaking in Yang--Mills theories

This paper demonstrates that the Serreau–Tissier replica sector in Yang–Mills theories can dynamically generate a Gribov–Zwanziger-type horizon functional through the expansion of the Faddeev–Popov determinant, thereby providing a microscopic mechanism for the emergence of the Gribov scale that yields either a Curci–Ferrari mass or a refined Gribov–Zwanziger decoupling propagator depending on the replica symmetry phase.
