High Energy Physics - Phenomenology
Loops of portal matter (PM) fields, carrying both Standard Model (SM) and dark charges, can generate the necessary kinetic mixing (KM) between the ordinary and dark photons (DP) in vector portal scenarios thus allowing for interactions…
A nonequilibrium Green's function approach to heavy-quark transport is discussed within the framework of the Kadanoff-Baym equation. One- and two-loop self-energy diagrams with hard-thermal-loop resummed propagators are calculated in the…
Although hidden-photon dark matter with masses above $10^{-4}\,\mathrm{eV}$ is well motivated by inflationary production, it remains largely unexplored by terrestrial experiments. Through kinetic mixing, hidden photons induce a weak…
Modern jet taggers based on graph and transformer networks deliver state-of-the-art performance but are expensive to train and difficult to share across experiments. Knowledge distillation can in principle achieve model compression, but it…
Ultralight bosonic dark matter (UBDM) that couples to electromagnetism can generate an oscillating magnetic-field signal at the Earth's surface. This is referred to as the "Earth transducer" effect, as the Earth converts UBDM into a…
The collapse of false-vacuum domains during first-order phase transitions in the early Universe may lead to primordial black hole (PBH) formation whose signatures form a multimessenger complement to gravitational wave (GW) production. We…
Direct evidence for collective neutrino oscillations in core-collapse supernovae remains elusive. We show that this quantum phenomenon leaves a footprint on the abundance pattern of proton-rich nuclides in the solar system. Modeling the…
We demonstrate that polarized strange quarks undergo Larmor precession in the intense magnetic field produced in non-central heavy-ion collisions and as a possible source of charge-odd hyperon polarization. Strange and antistrange quarks…
We show that muon bremsstrahlung provides a new production mechanism for light new physics at accelerator neutrino experiments. The intense, highly collimated muon beam produced alongside the neutrino beam in meson decays provides a…
We investigate the sensitivity of a same-sign $\mu^+\mu^+$ collider to doubly charged scalars in the Type-II seesaw framework, focusing on the regime in which the doubly charged scalar decays dominantly into same-sign $W$-boson pairs.…
We propose metallic carbon nanotubes (CNTs) as a one-dimensional plasmon target for light dark matter (DM) direct detection. Unlike conventional gapless electronic targets, where DM primarily excites electron-hole pairs, the low-energy…
Collisions of ultra-relativistic bubbles during cosmological phase transitions can produce particles much heavier than the transition scale. Previous analyses modelled this process as the off-shell decay of the scalar background. We show…
The high-energy pion and kaon beams proposed for future experiments at J-PARC offer a unique opportunity to investigate exclusive Drell-Yan processes induced by pions or kaons, which correspond to inverse deeply virtual meson production…
Collinear splitting functions govern parton evolution, parton showers, and resummation at high-energy colliders. While on-shell spinor-helicity methods have successfully yielded massless QCD splitting functions, a complete on-shell…
We study quantum spin correlations in top-quark pair production at future lepton colliders in the presence of a neutral gauge boson from anomaly-free general $U(1)$ extensions of the Standard Model. The process $\ell^+\ell^-\to t\bar t$,…
We study the spacelike-collinear limit of gauge-theory scattering amplitudes using the Method of Regions. The corresponding splitting amplitude violates strict collinear factorisation through its dependence on the non-collinear partons.…
We investigate the impact of new physics on the rare inclusive decay $B \to X_{\mathrm{s}} l^{+} l^{-}$ within the framework of the $\mu$ from $\nu$ Supersymmetric Standard Model ($\mu\nu$SSM). The dominant contributions to the relevant…
Earth attenuation is crucial for interpreting direct-detection constraints on boosted dark matter (DM), since scatterings with terrestrial nuclei can significantly modify the flux and energy spectrum reaching underground detectors. At…
We introduce radiative corrections in neutral-current (anti)neutrino-nucleon elastic scattering at $\text{GeV}$ energies within the effective field theory framework. We factorize cross sections into soft and hard functions, clarify the…
The $O(v^2)$ correction to the high-energy resummed coefficient function for the exclusive photoproduction of vector ($1^{--}$) heavy quarkonia off hadrons is computed, thereby taking into account corrections of $O(v^2 \alpha_s^n…
