High Energy Physics - Phenomenology
We present a systematic study of the hadronic contributions to the muon anomalous magnetic moment within several infrared-improved AdS/QCD models. The models are constrained by the pion decay constant and the $\rho$-meson mass and are shown…
The kaon, the lightest hadron containing a strangeness quark, is very peculiar. It is a Nambu-Goldstone boson, but significantly heavier than the pion. As a result, its interaction with a matter particle, such as the nucleon or a…
We identify an oscillatory solution that exists as a long-lived, bubble-like closed domain wall in the two-Higgs-doublet model (2HDM) under a $\mathbb{Z}_2$ symmetry constraint, and these structures emerge naturally during the late stages…
We investigate the build-up of elliptic flow of charm quarks produced in the early pre-equilibrium stage of high-energy proton--nucleus collisions. The initial stage is modeled within the Color Glass Condensate framework as an evolving…
The calculation of precise predictions for Higgs decays is a necessary ingredient for determining Higgs properties at the LHC and future colliders. We compute all two- and three-body Higgs decays at next-to-leading order (NLO) in both QCD…
We analyze the mass spectra of hadrons and demonstrate that the physical spectra of mesons and baryons are well described by the exponential spectrum of open strings. The open-string spectrum, derived from string theory, is characterized by…
We study the impact of heavy dark matter (DM) captured in massive stars via scattering(s) with the star constituents. We focus on the first stars and use stellar evolution simulations to track down how DM capture evolves over time from the…
We present a generalization of the $x$-space $\texttt{Candia}$ algorithm to next-to-next-to-next-to-leading order (N$^3$LO) accuracy in Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD) for solving the DGLAP evolution equations for unpolarized parton densities…
In the center-of-mass frame, the spin density matrix for octet baryon-antibaryon pairs produced in polarized electron-positron annihilation is unambiguously determined within the one-photon-exchange approximation. The formalism…
The study of nuclear modification factor is crucial in advancing our knowledge of the hot and dense nuclear matter created during high energy heavy-ion collision. In this direction, we have developed a theoretical model for the nuclear…
We generalize chiral perturbation theory with spinless matter fields in the fundamental representation of ${\rm SU}(N)$ to curved spacetime in the presence of an external gravitational field. This work is motivated by recent interest in…
Recently, a new framework for studying generic $2 \to 3$ hard exclusive reactions, referred to as single-diffractive hard exclusive processes, has been introduced to provide a cleaner separation of the underlying physical mechanisms. In…
Cosmological phase transitions are a frequent phenomenon in particle physics models beyond the Standard Model, and the corresponding gravitational wave signal offers a key probe of new physics in the early Universe. Depending on the…
We analyze a generalized framework of smooth F-term hybrid inflation (smFHI) consistent with gauge coupling unification within the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model (MSSM). The embedding of the model in two specific Supergravity…
Recent experimental hints from the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) in di-photon and partially in the $\tau^+\tau^-$ final states suggest the possible existence of an additional Higgs boson with a mass around 95 GeV. Interestingly, these…
We perform an improved perturbative QCD study of the decays $B_c^+ \to \eta_c L^+$,where $L$ denotes the light ground-state pseudoscalar, vector mesons and the corresponding $p$-wave scalar, axial-vector, and tensor ones, and predict their…
Correct description of quarkonia production and kinematics are still one of the most challenging assignments for Quantum Chromodynamics. This document presents a study of the $\Upsilon$(1S), (2S) and (3S) mean transverse momentum ($\langle…
Axions and axion-like particles (ALPs) have gained immense attention in searches for beyond Standard Model (BSM) physics. Experiments searching for axions leverage their predicted couplings to Standard Model (SM) particles to look for…
We show that measuring dark matter signal by projecting quantum sensors in the collective excited state can highly suppress the non-collective noise background, hence improving the sensitivity significantly. We trace the evolution of the…
In the light of the recent Particle Data Group (PDG) release, we revisit the running quark and lepton Yukawa couplings, together with the quark mixing parameters, across a range of energy scales. The 2024 PDG determinations of low-energy…
