Electroweak baryogenesis (EWBG) constitutes a theoretically compelling and experimentally testable mechanism for explaining the origin of the baryon asymmetry of the universe (BAU). New results for the electric dipole moment (EDM) of the…
We discuss matters related to the point that topological quantization in the strong interaction is a consequence of an infinite spacetime volume. Because of the ensuing order of limits, i.e. infinite volume prior to summing over topological…
Weak decays of charged kaons with an additional lepton-antilepton pair, $K^- \to \ell^- \bar{\nu}_\ell \ell'^{+} \ell'^{-}$ ($K_{\ell2\ell'}$), are suppressed at order $O(G_{F}^{2}\alpha_{\rm em}^{2})$ in the Standard Model (SM) and provide…
We investigate the emergence of approximate neutrino texture structures in the minimal scotogenic model through large-scale Casas--Ibarra parameter scans subject to lepton flavor violation and dark matter constraints. We demonstrate that…
We propose a hybrid inflation model where a pseudo-Nambu-Goldstone boson inflaton couples to $N$ waterfall scalar fields respecting a $Z_N$ symmetry. We identify the phases for the inflation and the consequent waterfall transition,…
Global fits of Beyond the Standard Model (BSM) physics often involve a two-way interplay between theory and experiment. Theoretical models provide guidance for experimental searches, while experimental results, in turn, constrain…
Neutron star (NS) is one of the most promising astrophysical targets to probe non-gravitational interaction of dark matter (DM) with visible matter. Their compactness makes them an ideal object which can capture particle DM efficiently over…
We present a four-dimensional equation of state for strongly interacting matter at finite temperature and conserved charge densities, constructed using a deep neural network. It is designed for direct use in hybrid models of relativistic…
We present an implementation of the MAcNLOPS matching prescription for $pp \to ZZ$ production in a MadGraph5_aMC@NLO + Pythia8 setup. Starting from a standard MC@NLO event sample, negative H events are removed and compensated by a veto…
In this work, a comprehensive analysis for processes related to $b\to c\bar{u}q~(q=d, s)$ transitions are carried out, including new physics contributions. In light of a recent tension between branching fractions for $B_{(s)}\to…
We establish a correspondence between two independent entropic probes -- the variation of R\'{e}nyi mutual information (RMI) across the electroweak symmetry breaking (EWSB) transition and the stabilizer R\'enyi entropy (SRE) -- in…
We investigate semileptonic sum rules in heavy-to-light charm decays, motivated by analogous relations in $b \to c$ and $b \to u$ transitions. Focusing on the $c \to d\overline{\ell}\nu$ decays, $D \to \pi\overline{\ell}\nu$, $D \to…
We study lepton-flavor-violating (LFV) decays of a heavy Higgs boson, $H \to \mu\tau$, in the Type-III two-Higgs-doublet model by recasting the CMS search at $\sqrt{s} = 13$ TeV with 35.9 fb$^{-1}$ using fast detector simulation in the mass…
The relation $M_H^2\simeq M_ZM_t$, previously proposed as a non-trivial Higgs mass coincidence, is reconsidered with present electroweak inputs and with a scheme-consistent matching analysis. With the 2025 PDG values for $M_Z$, $M_W$ and…
We develop a framework for indirect discovery in the Standard Model Effective Field Theory (SMEFT) based on Bayesian model selection over operator subsets. We argue that SMEFT should be understood as a structured space of competing…
We examine the potential for a 10~TeV lepton collider to carry out precision measurements of the W boson mass and W boson couplings strength, i.e. the CKM matrix elements. We consider the several W boson production mechanisms and focus on…
Nucleon decay searches provide uniquely sensitive probes of baryon number violation and physics beyond the Standard Model. We propose a new class of nucleon decay observables involving long-lived particles (LLPs), characterized by spatially…
We present a non-perturbative multiplicative renormalization program for the massive gluon fields. This has been done within the previously formulated the mass gap approach to QCD. It is based on a new insights into its ground state true…
The dependence of differential cross-section of prompt photon production in bremsstrahlung \(qq \rightarrow qq\gamma\) at collisions of nonpolarized and longitudinally polarized protons at \(\sqrt{s}\)=10 GeV NICA energies on the kinematic…
We investigate the model of spontaneous baryogenesis, considering two extensions to the background paradigm. Firstly, we introduce a non-minimal coupling between gravity and the inflaton, increasing the effective mass squared of the latter.…
