High Energy Physics - Phenomenology
Magnetic monopoles arise generically in unified theories and offer a natural explanation of charge quantization. Beyond collider searches and cosmic-ray experiments, their flux is constrained by Parker-type bounds requiring galactic…
This work investigates dynamically generated hidden-charm baryon resonances arising from meson-baryon interactions. Using the local hidden gauge formalism, we model the interaction via t-channel vector meson exchange and unitarize the…
Strong interaction is typically assumed to dominate the pair production of heavy coloured resonances at the LHC. However, mixed QCD-QED contributions from gluon-photon ($g\gamma$) initial states become critical for highly charged states.…
Within the framework of QCD sum rules, we investigate hidden-heavy tetraquark states with the exotic quantum number $J^{PC}=0^{--}$ in color-octet configurations, namely $[Q\bar q]_{8_c}\otimes[q\bar Q]_{8_c}$ and $[Q\bar…
Identifying dark matter candidates that simultaneously generate multiple observable cosmological signatures is a key goal in connecting particle physics with upcoming observations. Axion-like particles coupled to the Standard Model photon…
We investigate the phenomenology of light long-lived neutralinos in R-parity violating supersymmetric models, focusing on the proposed remote detectors $\texttt{ANUBIS}$, $\texttt{CODEX-b}$, $\texttt{FACET}$, $\texttt{FASER}$,…
Testing the unitarity of the lepton mixing matrix, in a manner analogous to the unitarity tests of the CKM matrix in the quark sector, is an important step toward probing physics beyond the standard three-generation framework. In long…
We study the theoretical constraints on the scalar sector of the Alternative Left-Right Model (ALRM), an $E_6$-motivated extension of the Standard Model based on the gauge group $\mathrm{SU}(3)_c \otimes \mathrm{SU}(2)_L \otimes…
We report the first rigorous evaluation of the physical mass of electroweak vortex rings, establishing precise values of 18.01 and 26.80 TeV for solutions characterized by different winding numbers. Analysis of the internal structure…
We propose a framework that links the origin of the Standard Model flavour hierarchies to the generation of asymmetric dark matter via leptogenesis. The key new ingredient is a gauged $SO(3)$ flavour symmetry acting on both the visible and…
We study a local patch of an axion-like dark sector in Minkowski spacetime, containing an initially homogeneous and isotropic non-Abelian $SU(2)$ condensate, and a real pseudoscalar field $\chi$, coupled to an Abelian $U(1)$ gauge field…
We highlight a generic connection between extensions of the Standard Model featuring low-scale semi-simple embeddings of $\rm{U}(1)_{\rm EM}$ and the phenomenology of magnetic monopoles in the early Universe. In particular, flavour…
We introduce Nested-GPT, a hierarchical autoregressive Transformer architecture for simulating the variable-multiplicity parton-shower histories. As a controlled benchmark, we study the leading-logarithmic resummation of non-global…
We explicitly present all coupling conditions required for tree-level unitarity (tree unitarity) in theories with a finite number of massive and massless particles of spin up to 1. They allow us to diagnose tree unitarity of a system using…
We present model calculations for the in-medium suppression of the Y(1S,2S,3S) states in sqrt(s_NN)=5.02 TeV Pb-Pb collisions at the Large Hadron Collider in comparison with recent CMS data for all three spin-triplet s-wave states. The…
It is shown that the post-inflationary quantum chromodynamics (QCD) axion need not lead to a unique one-parameter prediction for the dark matter abundance whenever small explicit Peccei-Quinn symmetry breaking becomes dynamically relevant…
Beyond solving the hierarchy problem, classically conformal (CC) theories naturally accommodate dark matter (DM). In this work, we explore the CC $SU(2)_X$ gauge theory with a triplet dark scalar, uncovering two distinct DM scenarios:…
We investigate the discovery potential of the $T_{bc}$ state with $J^P = 0^+$ in proton-proton ($pp$) collisions at LHCb at a center-of-mass energy of $\sqrt{s} = 13~\mathrm{TeV}$. The study focuses on the decay channel $T_{bc} \to B^-…
In this study, we explore temperature-dependent CPT violation during Big Bang Nucleosynthesis (BBN) through electron-positron mass asymmetries parametrized by $b_0(T) = \alpha T^2$. The $T^2$ scaling naturally evades stringent laboratory…
Right-handed neutrinos are naturally induced by dark extra dimension models and play an essential role in neutrino oscillations. The model parameters can be examined by the long-baseline neutrino oscillation experiments. In this work, we…
