On the basis of allowed local gauge symmetries, the QCD Lagrangian admits a CP-violating term proportional to the topological charge density, commonly referred to as the $\theta$ term. A priori, any value of $\theta$ is consistent with the…
We propose a model explaining the strong isospin violations observed in X(3872) decays. The X is assumed to be a compact isosinglet tetraquark and its charged partners to form an isotriplet, together with an additional neutral state mixing…
The higgsino-like neutralino is a compelling dark matter candidate motivated by both cosmology and naturalness considerations. While a pure higgsino typically requires a mass of around $1.1~\mathrm{TeV}$ to satisfy the observed thermal…
In the framework of three flavor neutrino oscillation, we demonstrate that the measures of entanglement can be expressed in terms of experimentally accessible appearance and disappearance probabilities. We explicitly show here that the…
The reduced cross section of the semiexclusive $(l,l'p)$ lepton scat tering process irrespective of the type of interaction is determined mainly by bound nucleon momentum distribution in target and nucleon final state interaction with…
The electromagnetic production of a dilepton pair in the muon - ion scattering, usually denoted muon trident process, is investigated considering the feasibility of studying processes induced by muons at LHC using its far-forward detectors.…
We study axionlike particles (ALPs) in beam dump experiments, focusing on the Search for Hidden Particles (SHiP, at CERN) experiment and the Beam Dump eXperiment (BDX, at JLab). Many existing projections for sensitivity to ALPs in beam dump…
The Local Unitarity (LU) formalism provides a constructive, integrand-level realisation of the Kinoshita-Lee-Nauenberg (KLN) theorem, by combining loop and phase-space integrals appearing in scattering cross-sections in such a way that…
We study the nonmaximal symmetry breaking patterns of ${\mathfrak{s} \mathfrak{u}}(8) \to \mathfrak{g}_{531}/\mathfrak{g}_{351}$ allowed in a supersymmetric theory with the affine Lie algebra of $\widehat {\mathfrak{s}…
The practice of collider physics typically involves the marginalization of multi-dimensional collider data to uni-dimensional observables relevant for some physics task. In any cases, such as classification or anomaly detection, the…
Matching theoretical predictions to experimental data remains a central challenge in hadron spectroscopy. In particular, the identification of new hadronic states is difficult, as exotic signals near threshold can arise from a variety of…
The detection of gravitational waves from binary black hole and neutron star mergers by ground-based interferometers, as well as the evidence for a gravitational wave background from pulsar timing array experiments, has marked a new era in…
In this work we consider the QCD predictions for spin correlations in $t\bar{t}$ production in hadronic collisions. In view of recent tensions between experimental data and theoretical calculations, it has been argued that one should…
Dark sector models present a rich phenomenology that requires high-intensity beams and precision detectors for thorough exploration. The NA62 experiment has already published several constraints on dark sector models, leveraging proton beam…
Explaining the observed charged fermion mass hierarchies points to flavour symmetries inducing a suppression of the lighter species' masses. When the symmetries are global, it is expected that such symmetries are broken by gravity via…
Ultralight bosonic dark matter with masses in the meV range, corresponding to terahertz (THz) Compton frequencies, remains largely unexplored due to the difficulty of achieving both efficient signal conversion and single-photon-sensitive…
The soft-breaking parameter, $m_{12}^2$, frequently appearing in the 2HDM scalar potential is much more remarkable than being just a nonstandard parameter that helps make the BSM scalars super heavy. In fact, as we show through explicit…
The type-I seesaw model with two-zero textures of the Majorana mass matrix for the right-handed neutrinos $M^{}_{\rm R}$ provides a highly predictive framework for neutrino mass generation and baryon asymmetry of the Universe via…
We present the first calculation of the Efremov-Teryaev-Qiu-Sterman functions and associated twist-3 quark-gluon correlation functions for both the proton and pion. These functions are determined using the light-front wave functions…
The origin of neutrino mass and the nature of dark matter (DM) remain unresolved puzzles in particle physics, and an appealing possibility is to address both in a unified picture. This paper explores a light fermionic DM candidate within…
