The flavor-nonsinglet ($u - d$) quark angular momentum (AM) in the proton is computed based on the effective spin-flavor dynamics emerging from chiral symmetry breaking by QCD instantons. The QCD AM operators are converted to effective…
We investigate finite-size effects in the $T$-$\mu$ phase diagram of magnetized quark matter within the framework of a nonlocal extension of the Polyakov--Nambu--Jona-Lasinio (PNJL) model. Finite-size corrections are incorporated through…
Recently, dark matter direct-detection experiments have begun their exploration of the ``neutrino fog,'' providing the first hints of detection of solar neutrinos scattering elastically with the nuclei in the detector. In this work, we…
We develop a complete theoretical framework for open quantum systems coupled to scale-invariant environments. We show that such environments are universally described by unparticle baths characterized by a single scaling dimension…
We establish a quantitative relation between local spin polarization and quantum entanglement in two-qubit systems by deriving an upper bound on the concurrence at fixed local polarizations, showing that increasing polarization constrains…
We calculate electromagnetic multipole moments of $\Sigma$-type strange hidden-charm pentaquarks $P^{\Sigma}_{\psi s}$ (isospin triplet $\Sigma^+,\Sigma^0,\Sigma^-$) using QCD light-cone sum rules, with six (spin-1/2) and seven (spin-3/2)…
In this article, we use two different methods for studying the mass spectra of fully-heavy baryons and pentaquarks. In the first section, we use state-of-the-art machine learning methods, such as deep neural networks and the Particle…
We study the three-body systems $DNN$ and $D^{*}NN$ within a hadronic molecular framework by combining a realistic nucleon-nucleon interaction with a $D^{(*)}N$ potential constrained by heavy-quark symmetry. The three-body Schr\"odinger…
Earth matter density uncertainties play a non trivial role in three flavor neutrino oscillations in matter, particularly for the muon to electron appearance channel that underpins CP violation measurements in long baseline experiments. We…
The internal structure of the Standard Model implies a natural $\mathbb{Z}_4 \times \mathbb{Z}_3$ discrete gauge symmetry. Cancellation of the corresponding Dai--Freed anomalies requires the introduction of three right-handed neutrinos and…
We calculate the in-medium valence quark distribution of the pion immersed in a finite baryon density using the light-cone quark model. The medium-modified pion properties are obtained by using the constituent quark mass-dependent light…
Accurate signal predictions are essential for interpreting and optimizing fixed-target searches for new physics. Even in minimal models such as the dark photon ($A'$) or millicharged particles (mCPs), theoretical uncertainties in hadronic…
We investigate the capability of TianQin and LISA to reconstruct the model parameters in the Lagrangian of new physics scenarios that can generate an electroweak SFOPT. Taking the dimension-six Higgs operator extension of the Standard Model…
This work explores exotic signatures from confining dark sectors that may arise in the $e^+e^-$ collision mode at the Future Circular Collider. Assuming the Higgs boson mediates the interaction between the Standard Model and the dark…
Based on the two-flavor NJL model with Tsallis non-extensive statistics, this work explores the QCD phase structure and thermodynamic properties under strong magnetic fields and chiral imbalance. The Tsallis parameter $q$ captures…
We examine the status of benchmark simplified dark matter models that have been proposed to explain the GeV gamma-ray Galactic Center excess. We constrain the available parameter space using updated observations from indirect detection,…
The spatial configurations of particles produced in the kinematic phase space during a heavy-ion collision reflect the characteristics of the system created in the collision. The scaling behaviour of the multiplicity fluctuations is studied…
The origin of neutrino mass remains an open question in particle physics. One intriguing possibility is that neutrinos are massless in vacuum but acquire an effective refractive mass through interactions with ultralight dark matter during…
Strongly supercooled first-order phase transitions have been proposed as a primordial black hole (PBH) production mechanism. While previous works rely on simplified models with limited thermodynamic precision, we stress that reliable…
There is a significant uncertainty in the prediction of atmospheric muon neutrino and anti-neutrino flux ratio using different flux models, especially at higher energies. We study the prospects of experimentally measuring this flux ratio as…
