This paper presents a combined ATLAS and CMS analysis of Higgs boson pair production at 13 TeV using Run 2 data, which found no significant evidence for the signal but established upper limits on the production cross-section and set constraints on the Higgs trilinear self-coupling and its coupling to vector bosons.
This paper presents a radiation-hardened 130 nm CMOS delta-sigma current digitizer capable of achieving over 200 dB dynamic range and sub-picoampere resolution for beam loss monitoring, while maintaining a 10 µs response time for machine protection and demonstrating robust performance up to 100 Mrad total ionizing dose.
This paper develops a nonlinear poroelastic theory to predict large and fast diffusiophoretic deformations in hydrogels driven by external or internally generated solute gradients, demonstrating that tuning stimulus concentration, solute particle size, and flow can significantly enhance strain rates for potential applications in soft robotics and drug delivery.
This paper presents a generative framework combining a -variational autoencoder with a transformer-based diffusion model to achieve high-compression, real-time probabilistic reconstruction and data assimilation of wall-bounded turbulent flows, demonstrating the ability to reproduce complex statistical properties while highlighting the inherent trade-off between enforcing statistical constraints and preserving physical fidelity.
This paper proposes group entropies as a unifying framework that defines universality classes of extensive entropies for strongly correlated systems, successfully deriving consistent thermodynamic laws and demonstrating that black holes naturally exhibit negative specific heat within this formalism.
This paper argues that Relational Quantum Mechanics requires a complementary account distinguishing physical interaction from informational coherence to explain observer persistence and ensure empirical confirmation in multi-observer scenarios, as the theory's current definition of an observer as merely an interacting physical system is insufficient.
This paper presents a weighted-sum mixed-integer linear programming model to optimize the UK apple supply chain by balancing economic and sustainability objectives—specifically price, quantity, freshness, and distance—to enhance localisation and circularity while reducing waste and emissions.
This bibliometric analysis of 138 Web of Science publications from 2021 to 2025 reveals that physics education is undergoing an AI-driven transformation characterized by exponential growth since 2023, a shift from traditional data analysis to generative AI and interdisciplinary applications, and a future trajectory focused on adaptive learning ecosystems and ethical AI integration.
This paper introduces SMARL, a reinforcement learning framework that uses enstrophy spectrum-based rewards to develop stable, data-efficient subgrid-scale closures for geophysical turbulence, enabling accurate prediction of extreme events with significantly reduced computational costs.
This paper presents a novel two-dimensional shift and rotation method that leverages the correlation between time-of-flight mass-squared and ionization energy loss to significantly improve charged pion and kaon identification in heavy-ion collisions, extending the reliable measurement range to approximately 3 GeV/ while maintaining over 98% purity and preserving elliptic flow consistency.
This paper proposes an improved objective function for the optAPM code, featuring a simplified hotspot cost formulation and pre-interpolation of trail data, to reduce modeling errors and enhance the accuracy of absolute plate motion reconstructions over geological timescales.
This large-scale, open-source study reveals that while plant-based meats generally lag behind animal benchmarks in overall consumer liking, specific categories like unbreaded chicken filets, nuggets, and burgers have achieved near-parity in taste and texture, with sensory attributes such as savoriness and juiciness identified as key drivers of consumer preference.
This study employs the gravitational decoupling method within Rastall theory to derive and analyze two novel asymptotically flat Bardeen black hole solutions, confirming their thermodynamic stability and acceptable physical behavior despite violations of energy bounds.
This paper proposes that dark energy arises not from vacuum fluctuations but as an effective entanglement energy between our universe and a time-reversed mirror sector, offering a unified framework where vacuum contributions cancel under a global zero-energy condition and the observed dark energy density is determined by boundary conditions at the cosmological event horizon.
This paper establishes an explicit isomorphism between the equivariant nilpotent cohomological Hall algebra of one-dimensional sheaves on a surface resolving a Kleinian singularity and a completed positive half of the affine Yangian of the corresponding ADE Lie algebra, utilizing continuity theorems for -structures and multi-parameter Yangian definitions to characterize the algebra of cohomological Hecke operators.
This paper investigates the Blandford-Znajek mechanism in Kerr-Sen black holes using perturbation theory to show that while the dilaton parameter enhances energy extraction power and radiative efficiency compared to standard Kerr black holes, observational data from binary systems still favors the Kerr model.
This paper extends the curve integral formula for calculating colored scalar scattering amplitudes to non-orientable surfaces, such as the Möbius strip, by utilizing quasi-cluster algebras and embedding techniques, while validating the construction through superstring amplitude limits and generalizing it to higher-genus non-orientable surfaces.
This paper proposes a stochastic-dynamic model demonstrating that floating oil slicks increase sea surface temperature, amplify temperature variability, and reduce predictability, thereby suggesting that current air-sea coupled climate models may underestimate the impact of oil pollution on global climate uncertainty.
This paper investigates the limit of Gauss-Bonnet gravity coupled with quintessence, deriving exact black hole solutions that exhibit unique horizon behaviors, stable phantom-like photon orbits, and thermodynamic stability leading to stable remnants, thereby highlighting the profound influence of quintessential matter on lower-dimensional gravitational physics.
By employing a relaxed BF-BB parametrisation of 4D gravity, this paper demonstrates that the theory possesses Chern-Simons-like phase spaces and Kac-Moody algebras on codimension 2 and 3 surfaces, respectively, governed by a Maxwell gauge algebra that yields an off-shell commutative spin connection and a noncommutative corner metric.
