High Energy Physics - Phenomenology
The software $\texttt{history}$ is designed to calculate fully-differential cross sections for colour-singlet production processes in hadronic collision up to next-to-next-to-leading order in QCD. It is based on the fully-local nested…
Blazars are unique astrophysical environments whose high-energy $\gamma$-ray spectra are susceptible to modulations in the presence of ultralight axions. We search for these modulations, induced by axion-photon mixing, in Fermi-LAT spectral…
Ultralight dark matter is a hypothetical class of particle with a number of interesting theoretical and experimental properties, many of which are best understood by direct analogy with or application of undergraduate physics. We present a…
Exchange of two neutrinos (as well as other fermions) generates a long-range parity-violating (PV) potential of the form $\sim G^2/r^5$, with characteristic range $\hbar/(2m_\nu c)$. In atomic systems the corresponding matrix elements…
The thermodynamic geometry of the hadron resonance gas model with (without) excluded volume effects (EVE) of baryons is investigated. The case with imaginary mu, where mu is the baryon chemical potential, is investigated as well as the one…
The type I seesaw mechanism is one of the leading proposed explanations for how neutrinos acquire their tiny masses. However, the mass scale of the undiscovered right-handed neutrinos required by this mechanism remains undetermined.…
Orbital angular momentum (OAM) is not a Poincar\'e invariant quantity; so, its value is observer dependent. Notwithstanding that, in quantum chromodynamics, a Poincar\'e-invariant theory, OAM is part of every hadron wave function. Using…
We study the $J/\psi\to\phi\eta\pi^{0}$ reaction measured recently by the BESIII collaboration with high precision, paying attention to three important aspects: 1) The production of the $a_0(980)$ in the $\pi^0\eta$ mass distributions, with…
We study the strong decay of $D_{s0}^*(2317)^+$ to $D_s^+ \pi^0$ considering the coupled channels of $D^0 K^+, D^+ K^0, D_s^+ \eta$ and $D_s^+ \pi^0$ within a picture for the interaction based on the local hidden gauge approach. We also…
The energy-momentum tensor (EMT) form factor $D(t)$ is finite and negative in hadronic models and lattice QCD when only strong forces are included. However, when electromagnetic forces are considered, the $D(t)$ of charged hadrons undergoes…
In light of ongoing issues with the first-row unitarity test of the CKM matrix, we showcase a global fit to measurements of $K\to \ell \nu$, $K\to \pi\ell \nu$, $\tau \to K\nu$, and $\tau\to K\pi \nu$ decays for the first time. Fitting the…
In this article, we take the $X(4140)$ as the axialvector tetraquark state with the symbolic quark structure $[sc]_S[\bar{s}\bar{c}]_A+[sc]_A[\bar{s}\bar{c}]_S$, and calculate the width of the two-body strong decay $X(4140)\rightarrow…
Recent CMS analyses report an excess in the diphoton-plus-$b \bar{b}$ channel, indicative of a heavy resonance around 650 GeV decaying into a Standard Model (SM)-like Higgs boson and a lighter scalar near 95 GeV. The case for a 95 GeV state…
Tensor-polarized twist-3 parton distribution functions (PDFs) $f_{LT}(x)$ are calculated for the spin-1 deuteron by using twist-2 relations, which are similar to the Wandzura-Wilczek relation and the Burkhardt-Cottingham sum rule in the…
Consider high energy (GeV) beam particles scattering from the Coulomb field of a target nucleus (Z, A). The Coulomb field acts as a target of $\gamma^*$ virtual photons, with the target density proportional to Z$^2$. Henry Primakoff was the…
We present an algorithm to include the correlation between the production and decay planes of gluons in a parton-shower simulation. The technique is based on identifying the charge currents responsible for the creation and annihilation of…
We investigate the impact of one-loop radiative corrections in a non-supersymmetric model of hybrid inflation with a chaotic (polynomial-like) potential,$V(\phi) = V_0 + \lambda_p \phi^p$, in the light of the latest constraints from…
The experimental search for the pion -- proposed in 1935 by Hideki Yukawa as the force carrier of the strong nucleon-nucleon interaction -- was rewarded in 1947 when in cosmic ray photographic emulsion data a charged particle was identified…
In the present work, we investigate the productions of $\Lambda_c(2910)$ and $\Lambda_c(2940)$ in association with $D_{s0}^{\ast }(2317)^-$ and $D_{s1}(2460)^-$ via $K^- p$ scattering, where we assign $\Lambda_c(2910)$ and $\Lambda_c(2940)$…
Semi-inclusive hadron production in deep inelastic lepton-nucleon scattering (SIDIS) provides important probes of parton distributions and fragmentation functions. We compute the next-to-next-to-leading order (NNLO) massless QCD corrections…
