High Energy Physics - Phenomenology
One generation of standard-model fermions can be realized on the complexified octonions through the Clifford algebra $\mathcal{C}l(6)$; the octonionic unification programme extends this to three generations, with generation transport…
The maximally transcendental, or most complicated, terms of gauge-theory scattering amplitudes have long been singled out, following Lipatov and collaborators, as those parts of a QCD amplitude that most closely mirror maximally…
We present HydroGrav, a C++ code used to construct self-similar fluid profiles, using the exact equation of state determined directly from the effective potential, for any particle physics model capable of producing a first-order…
The quark parton model grew out of deeply inelastic scattering experiments. The parton model developed into a full theory, quantum chromodynamics, QCD. This article explains some of the physics issues encountered in connecting the parton…
We present a phenomenological study where we probe the sensitivity to invisible dark matter (DM) mediators produced in association with a $t\bar{t}$ pair at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC). Building on previous work focused on scalar…
Two recent studies of radiative corrections to bound state properties are discussed. The change of the decay rate of a muon bound to a light nucleus has been calculated for several light nuclei $4\leq Z \leq 9$ with high precision,…
We present model calculations to reveal the nature of the newly found $\Omega^-(2109)$ by the BESIII Collaboration, and show that the state has a strong correlation with the $\bar K^*(892)\Xi$ system. Our study is based on solving…
Recent results from the LHC on oxygen-oxygen (O-O) and neon-neon (Ne-Ne) collisions open a new window for investigating the interplay of cold nuclear matter (CNM) and quark-gluon plasma (QGP) effects in small collision systems. Building…
In this work, we propose a novel definition of the one-point charge correlator (QC) adapted to the Breit frame in deep-inelastic scattering (DIS). We demonstrate that this observable is infrared and collinear (IRC) safe, ensuring its…
The physical origin of dark energy remains one of the most profound open questions in modern physics. Although cosmological observations tightly constrain the equation of state parameter $w$, this information alone does not reveal the…
Characterising fully hadronic events is a difficult task at hadron colliders. Signal jets from the hard process are mingled with an arbitrary number of ISR and FSR jets, leading to a large combinatorial background. This also poses a…
We explore the possibility of testing in collider experiments whether phase-space variables are separable. We first study phase-space non-separability by means of EPR-like correlations. The original EPR setting is realized in an actual…
In this paper, we present HyperPrecision, a Mathematica package for high-precision numerical evaluation of general Horn-type multivariate hypergeometric functions and their Laurent expansions in a small parameter $\epsilon$. Such functions…
We study the thermodynamics of the symmetry-improved Cornwall-Jackiw-Tomboulis (SICJT) formalism and apply it to a low-energy effective theory of QCD. In the symmetry-improved formulation, Ward-Takahashi identities are restored by auxiliary…
We present a quantum-field-theoretic treatment of massive chiral fields in which particles possess well-defined chirality and helicity. This framework reproduces the chiral oscillation formula previously obtained in first-quantized…
We study the one-loop Polyakov-loop effective potential in pure gluonic matter under constant acceleration. We perform the computation in both the Euclidean Rindler spacetime and the optical spacetime, which are related via a conformal…
In this study we apply the Remler formalism to charmonium production at SPS and GSI/FAIR energies in order to investigate the effects of baryon-rich matter on charmonium production and dissociation in heavy-ion collisions within the…
Axion dark matter in high-scale inflation is subject to the isocurvature constraint, since quantum fluctuations of the axion field during inflation may exceed the current CMB bound. One conventional way to suppress these fluctuations is to…
Contrary to conventional expectations, we identify a class of extended scalar-sector scenarios in which final states with two, three, or four Higgs bosons constitute the leading discovery channels for new physics at the LHC. In these…
The CMS collaboration has reported a measurement of $\Upsilon$ decays to ditaus using $61.9~{\rm fb}^{-1}$ of scouting data. If interpreted as the decay of $\Upsilon(1S,2S,3S)$, the measured ditau rate is more than ten times that seen in…
