High Energy Physics - Phenomenology
The recent observation of high-energy Galactic neutrinos by IceCube allows for searches of new physics affecting neutrino propagation on scales of $O(10^9-10^{15})\,\mathrm{km/GeV}$ in distance over energy. We assess the sensitivity of…
Current ton-scale, xenon-based dark matter (DM) direct detection experiments have now reached the sensitivity required to observe solar neutrinos, marking the onset of the so-called neutrino fog. In this work, we explore how this fog is…
The singlet-doublet dark matter model offers a rich framework for exploring the nature of dark matter (DM) through its unique fermion structure. In this model, the important parameters are the singlet-doublet mass splitting $\Delta{M}$, the…
We discuss the $(L,n)$-classification of excited light non-strange mesons, where $L$ and $n$ are orbital and radial quantum numbers. The selection of true non-strange quark-antiquark excited states and assigning to them definite $L$ and $n$…
The Georgi-Glashow model is the simplest possible attempt at grand unification. However, due to its particle content, the model preserves a global $U(1)_{B-L}$ symmetry, where $B$ and $L$ are baryon and lepton numbers, respectively. It thus…
In 1998, it was shown that, if flavor SU(3) symmetry [SU(3)$_F$] is assumed in charmless $B \to PP$ decays ($P$ is a light pseudoscalar meson), some reduced matrix elements involving electroweak penguin (EWP) operators are related to those…
Ultralight dark matter may couple quadratically to Standard Model particles. Such quadratic interactions give rise to both coherent and stochastic signals in pulsar timing array (PTA) observations. In this work, we characterize these…
Machine learning (ML) in high-energy physics (HEP) has moved in the LHC era from an internal detail of experiment software, to an unavoidable public component of many physics data analyses. Scientific reproducibility thus requires that it…
The hint of a pseudoscalar toponium state at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) opens a new avenue for studying a novel class of QCD (quasi-)bound states with comparable formation and decay times. Compared with charmonium and bottomonium,…
In this article, we present projected 95\% C.L. limits on Axion-Like Particle (ALP) couplings from ALP production at a future $e^+e^-$ collider operating at $\sqrt{s} = 250~\text{GeV}$ with integrated luminosity $L = 0.5~\text{ab}^{-1}$. We…
In this work, we employ both theoretical and data-driven methods to derive the QCD vacuum energy, utilizing the GMOR relation, the low-energy theorem, and the equation of state from Lattice QCD. The QCD vacuum energy is determined to be…
We present a consistent derivation of the complete Wess-Zumino-Witten interactions of axions, including the counter-term necessary to guarantee the gauge invariance of the Standard Model. By treating the derivative of the axion field as a…
From the humble beginnings of particle physics to groundbreaking discoveries, the journey of particle physics has revolutionized our understanding of the universe. The progression of particle physics, begin from the discovery of new…
We carry out the first calculation for the twist-3 gluon contribution to the single transverse-spin asymmetry(SSA) in $J/\psi$ production in semi-inclusive deep inelastic scattering. Our result shows that the $J/\psi$ SSA is an ideal…
With theoretical constraints such as perturbative unitarity and vacuum stability conditions and updated experimental data of Higgs measurements and direct searches for exotic scalars at the LHC, we perform an updated scan of the allowed…
We study the $\phi$ meson at finite temperature and finite momentum using QCD sum rules. The presence of medium breaks the Lorentz invariance, and induces distinct in-medium modifications of the transverse and longitudinal modes at finite…
We present a combined analysis of recent CE$\nu$NS data on germanium from two complementary experiments: COHERENT, which uses neutrinos from pion decay at rest, and CONUS+, which detects reactor antineutrinos. Exploiting the complementarity…
Given the canonical seesaw mechanism as a most natural extension of the standard model in its neutrino sector, we find out a special but brand new solution to the exact seesaw equation: $m^{}_i/M^{}_i = - R^2_{\alpha i}/U^2_{\alpha i}$ for…
Quark-gluon dynamics within protons and high-energy radiation phenomena in the universe are typically regarded as two entirely distinct fields. This paper aims to demonstrate that gluon condensation (GC) may serve as a direct bridge between…
Recent years have brought a dense sequence of experimental discoveries in heavy-flavor hadron spectroscopy. Heavy-flavor spectroscopy has entered a period in which new hadronic structures are no longer isolated surprises but recurring…
