High Energy Physics - Phenomenology
We investigate the constraints on the Inert Doublet Model (IDM), a minimal extension of the Standard Model of Particle Physics featuring a scalar dark matter candidate, using data from recent and future gamma-ray observatories. The…
We introduce a new class of $U(1)_X$ symmetries where all Standard Model fermions are ``chiral," i.e., the left- and right-handed components have different charges under the $U(1)_X$ symmetry. Gauge anomaly cancellation is achieved by…
We evaluate the feasibility of high-precision coherent elastic neutrino-nucleus scattering measurements exploiting mono-energetic neutrinos produced by electron-capture (EC) decays of intense radioactive sources, such as $^{51}$Cr or…
In this work we propose anomalous versions of the holographic hard wall (HW) model to describe the spectra of light baryons of spin 1/2 and 3/2, and obtain their Regge trajectories. The anomalous contributions to the dimensions of the…
Strong nuggets with a baryon number of $A\sim 10^{10-30}$ could be able to survive from the cosmic separation of the QCD phases, provided the transition from strange quark matter to strangeon matter is accounted for, thereby evading…
The search for the QCD critical end point (CEP) is a major objective of contemporary heavy-ion physics, motivating the study of fluctuation observables that are sensitive to critical dynamics. In particular, baryon-number fluctuations…
We plan to decipher the common origin of neutrino mass textures within a $\Delta(27)$ based framework, in association with Type-I+II seesaw mechanism. Motivated by the diversity of texture structures used in phenomenological analyses, we…
Large apparent $SU(3)_F$ breaking and a tension with lattice QCD have recently emerged in semileptonic decays of singly charmed baryons, hinting at either an unexpected hadronic mechanism or new physics. We formulate a framework that…
Inspired by the invariant mass distributions for the decays $D^{0} \rightarrow K_S^{0} \pi^{0} \eta$ and $D^{0} \rightarrow K_S^{0} \pi^{0} \pi^{0}$ reported by the BESIII Collaboration, we investigate these processes with an unified final…
In the paper, we have carried out research on the $D\to\pi$ decay process. We employ two different currents to study the $D\to\pi$ transition form factors (TFFs) by using the light-cone sum rule within the framework of chiral current…
We extend our dispersive analyses on meson static properties to those of light baryons. The formalism treats the dispersion relation, which a baryonic correlation function obeys, as an inverse problem, solve for the involved spectral…
We investigate the in-medium properties of the $\phi$ meson with finite momentum, going beyond the commonly studied case at rest. In a nuclear medium, Lorentz invariance is broken, leading to distinct longitudinal and transverse…
We compute the gravitational wave spectrum from a dark sector phase transition driven by spontaneous $\ZDW$ breaking. If the transition is second-order, the only source of gravitational waves is the annihilation of domain walls (biased by…
Axions are hypothetical particles, proposed to account for the invariance of CP symmetry in quantum chromodynamics. While axions and axion-like-particles are well-motivated by string theory and beyond-Standard-Model extensions, they have…
Probing heavy new physics beyond the Standard Model (SM) increasingly relies on global effective field theory (EFT) likelihoods. We introduce differentiable, multi-scale EFT likelihoods that combine renormalization-group evolution,…
Primordial micro black holes can constitute dark matter if short-distance gravity is modified by extra dimensions or a large number of species and if the memory-burden effect sufficiently suppresses Hawking evaporation. The resulting black…
We implement the recently-calculated analytic expressions for the next-to-leading order QCD corrections to $gg\to ZH$ in ggxy. This provides a flexible framework for investigating partonic and hadronic cross sections for various top quark…
Black hole superradiance is a powerful probe of ultralight axions. If nature contains a boson with a mass of order $10^{-12}\,$eV, $\textit{mere vacuum fluctuations}$ will lead to its efficient production around spinning stellar mass black…
Searches for primordial non-Gaussianity (NG) has the potential to not only reveal the physics of cosmic inflation, but also the structure of fundamental interactions at the highest energies. The cosmological collider (CC) physics program…
We investigate the $1S$-, $1P$-, $2S$-, and $1D$-wave $\Omega_c(css)$ spectroscopy through the non-leptonic decays of $\Omega_b^-$ baryon within the constituent quark model. For the lowest-lying $1S$-wave $\Omega_c$ state, we obtain the…
