High Energy Physics - Phenomenology
In anticipation of the new wave of ALICE experiments on particle-resonance correlation functions, we study the interaction of a kaon with the $D_{s0}^*(2317)$ resonance. Assuming the $D_{s0}^*(2317)$ to be a $DK$ molecular state in isospin…
We compute the spectrum of light mesons, composed by up, down, and strange quarks, using a symmetry-preserving approximation that permits the inclusion of fully-dressed quark-gluon vertices in the key dynamical equations. This method is…
We investigate the phenomenological impact of incorporating vector-like bottom (VLB) quarks into the Type-II Two-Higgs-Doublet Model (2HDM-II). This framework introduces novel beyond-Standard-Model (BSM) decay channels $B \to Hb$, $B \to…
Inverse beta decay (IBD), $\overline{\nu}_e p \to e^+ n \left( \gamma \right)$, is the main detection channel for reactor and supernova antineutrinos. To provide precise IBD cross sections at antineutrino energies $E_{\overline{\nu}_e}…
We postulate that the excesses of di-dijet events observed at the LHC are attributed to the production of four fourth-generation quarks $b'$ with a mass $m_{b'}\approx 2$ TeV at few-TeV scales. The di-dijet signals around the four-jet…
In this paper, we study the internal structure of light pseudoscalar mesons using spin improved power-law wave functions. We choose the pion and the kaon for our work. We use the standard quark-quark correlation functions to calculate the…
The relic abundance of vector dark matter originating from an inherited axion-$SU(2)$ condensate is typically determined by implementing an adiabatic matching procedure across the symmetry-breaking transition. We demonstrate that this…
We investigate the impact of quantum gravitational memory-burden effects on high-energy neutrino signals from evaporating primordial black holes and the resulting constraints from IceCube observations. Treating the backreaction as an…
We investigate whether a multiscale tensor-network architecture can provide a useful inductive bias for reconstruction-based anomaly detection in collider jets. Jets are produced by a branching cascade, so their internal structure is…
We study the classical stability of a non-topological $Z^\prime$ string in the minimal 331 model, which arises from the maximal symmetry breaking pattern of an ${{\mathfrak s}{\mathfrak u}}(6)$ toy model. Two Higgs triplets are introduced…
Charmonia are often supposed to provide simple hydrogen-like ``atomic'' systems that can be used to obtain insights into heavier-quark QCD. We use continuum Schwinger function methods to analyse this hypothesis in connection with…
Resonant heavy-neutrino mixing and sterile neutrino oscillations are two prominent mechanisms to realize low-scale leptogenesis, with singlet neutrino masses below TeV energies that could be probed in current and future laboratory…
Heavy-ion collisions produce final states with thousands to tens of thousands of particles, making their simulation among the most computationally intensive tasks in high-energy nuclear physics. We present a fast, high-fidelity generative…
In this work, we construct an A4-based flavor symmetry model within the framework of the type-I seesaw mechanism to realize a light neutrino mass matrix consistent with mu-tau reflection symmetry. The entire framework is based on the…
The standard type-I seesaw can also be regarded as a low-scale seesaw by using the freedom of the Casas-Ibarra parameterization. In this framework, radiative corrections to the neutrino mass matrix can dominate over the tree-level…
We investigate electron-positron pair production from the vacuum in presence of a strong oscillating electric field with a multi-pulse structure and variable inter-pulse delay. The pair production probabilities are computed by numerically…
We present a scenario for GeV-scale thermal dark matter that can only be tested with accelerator experiments. Dark matter is composed of dark pions arising from a confining strong interaction in the dark sector. The thermal relic density is…
Theories with warped extra dimensions, like the Randall-Sundrum (RS) model, exhibit a holographic phase transition from a hot, deconfined black brane phase to a cool, confined phase. The standard picture of a first-order, strongly…
The $E_8 \times \omega E_8$ octonionic program aims at a deliberately ambitious synthesis: quantum theory without external classical time, objective collapse, emergent classical space-time, exceptional Jordan-algebra flavor structure, and…
The mass spectrum of pseudoscalar and scalar meson modes at finite temperature is studied in the framework of a nonlocal quark model. The model implements quark confinement via the modification of the Laplace transform of the quark…
