Using new methods for computing helicity amplitudes with intermediate helicity-polarized gauge bosons, we revisit the transverse-longitudinal polarization interference in the $pp\to V+{\rm jets}$ process for $V=\gamma^*,Z^{(*)},W^{(*)}$…
Next-to-next-to-leading order (NNLO) QCD corrections to quarkonium production and decay are known to exhibit perturbative instabilities within non-relativistic QCD. We identify the origin of this problem and propose a simple remedy.…
The Monte Carlo (MC) replica method quantifies parameter uncertainties in global fits of parton distribution functions (PDFs) and Standard Model Effective Field Theory (SMEFT) Wilson coefficients by fitting a model to many noise-perturbed…
Quadratic couplings between ultralight scalar dark matter and Standard Model fields can produce a distorted dark-matter field profile around the Earth. Gradients in the field induce a non-radial, composition-dependent force that can be…
Quadratically coupled ultralight scalar dark matter behaves as a coherent classical field whose interactions with matter can induce a composition-dependent force through the dark matter background. We present a complete calculation of this…
Light-front wave functions play a central role in the program of understanding the structure of hadrons as QCD bound states. Using continuum Schwinger methods, based on Dyson-Schwinger and Bethe-Salpeter equations, they can be computed…
We study the near-threshold scattering and bound-state structure of the $N\Omega$ system by solving the Lippmann-Schwinger (L-S) equation within the framework of the meson exchange model and the Pomeron exchange model. The numerical results…
We continue the study of particle production from gravitational inhomogeneities in the early Universe. Focusing on sources active on sub-horizon scales, we derive general expressions relating particle production to the unequal-time…
Quantum estimation theory provides ultimate precision bounds on parameter estimation, independent of experimental setups. In this article, we apply this theoretical framework to neutrino oscillations, aiming to clarify some subtle issues…
Symmetry-protected seesaw models can accommodate light-neutrino oscillation data while keeping heavy neutral leptons (HNLs) within collider reach. In these models, the smallness of the light-neutrino masses is protected by an approximate…
A first global analysis of unpolarized Transverse-Momentum-Dependent (TMD) distributions based on a neural-network (NN) parametrization is presented. Drell-Yan (DY) and semi-inclusive deep inelastic scattering (SIDIS) data are…
We investigate the analytic structure of the quark propagator in the Landau gauge by dynamically coupling the standard gap equation to the non-perturbative quark-gluon vertex. Employing the full vertex basis, we demonstrate that for sub-GeV…
Probing the partonic structure of the pion and the kaon provides essential insights into the non-perturbative dynamics of QCD, yet their parton distribution functions (PDFs) remain poorly constrained due to the scarcity of high-precision…
The electron neutrino degeneracy parameter, $\xi_{\nu_\mathrm{e}} = \mu_{\nu_\mathrm{e}} / T$, is tightly constrained by Big Bang Nucleosynthesis (BBN), while the degeneracy parameters of the other neutrino species, $\xi_{\nu_\mathrm{x}}$,…
The QED scattering amplitude in a chiral medium characterized by a constant chiral chemical potential $\mu_5$ and chiral magnetic conductivity $b_0$ is analyzed. We show the emergence of the resonant behavior in $1\to 2$, $2\to 2$, and…
We present a comprehensive review of regularization schemes for magnetized dense quark matter within effective models of quantum chromodynamics, focusing on the Magnetic-Field-Independent Regularization (MFIR) and the Medium Separation…
In this work, we study the diquark-diquark-antiquark type decuplet $qssc\bar{c}$ pentaquark states with the QCD sum rules comprehensively, and obtain the mass spectrum of the lowest decuplet $qssc\bar{c}$ pentaquark states with the quantum…
We present a phenomenological study of quantum correlations in the decay of $B^0$ mesons into a system of two vector mesons. The decay of the $B^0$ meson into two vector mesons constitutes a bipartite system of two qutrits. The entanglement…
Light antinuclei, such as antideuteron ($\bar{\mathrm{d}}$) and antihelium (${}^{3}\overline{\mathrm{He}}$,${}^{4}\overline{\mathrm{He}}$), provide a link between collider physics and indirect Dark Matter searches. Despite extensive studies…
Vector-like leptons (VLLs) are well-motivated candidates for physics beyond the Standard Model. We investigate the sensitivity of the $6$ TeV muon collider to the neutral doublet VLL (denoted as $N$) via its pair production within a general…
