Spectral shape differences between photons produced in $\pi^0\to\gamma+\gamma$ and $\pi^0\to\gamma+A_D$ may provide a new avenue for dark photon searches. Assuming 70 $\mu$m thick tungsten foils separated by 200 $\mu$m and a 1 GeV proton…
We present the first paleo-detector dark matter sensitivity analysis based on a calorimetric readout, in which the number of stable lattice vacancies produced by each nuclear recoil is used as a per-event observable complementary to the…
Heavy quark symmetries are useful for predicting the existence of heavy states, their masses, and spin states. Despite numerous studies on the $P_{c\bar{c}}(4440)$ and $P_{c\bar{c}}(4457)$ heavy states, their spin states have not been…
In the Type-I two-Higgs Doublet Model (2HDM), the additional scalars may be light ($\lesssim 100$ GeV) without conflicting with experimental constraints from LHC searches or from flavour observables. So far, the studies of light scalars at…
We present an implementation of Higgs-boson production in association with a hard, isolated photon via vector-boson fusion in the framework of the POWHEG BOX for the consistent matching of next-to-leading order QCD corrections with parton…
Rational-function simplification is key bottlenecks in integration-by-parts (IBP) reduction of Feynman integrals. We study denominator factorization patterns appearing in IBP coefficients and develop practical algorithms for extracting and…
We consider the two-fermion $F_a F_b$ productions and decays via one mediator exchange at the $e^+e^-$ collider. With the assumption that the spin is defined via the Lorentz symmetry, or considering the implicit symmetry in the spin density…
We present a metric on the space of scattering events based on relative transverse momenta and with explicit sensitivity to intermediate resonances. With this new metric, negative weights in an event sample can be reduced substantially…
We present the prospects for measuring $H\to \rm{invisble}$ decays at the Future Circular Collider electron-positron at $\sqrt{s} = 240 \text{ GeV}$ with an integrated luminosity of 10.8 ab$^{-1}$. In this study, we consider the $ZH$…
Generalized parton distributions (GPDs) serve as indispensable tools for the exploration of proton structure. In this study, we offer a deep learning-assisted framework for the extraction of GPDs from experimental data and the results of…
We investigate five-dimensional rotating primordial black holes (PBHs) as dark matter candidates within the Dark Dimension (DD) scenario motivated by the Swampland Program. In this framework, a micron-scale extra dimension suppresses…
We study Majoron dark matter (DM) in its minimal realization, based on the Type-I seesaw framework extended by a SM-singlet complex scalar. Remaining agnostic about the origin and value of the Majoron mass, we evaluate the DM abundance from…
We formulate out-of-equilibrium jet momentum broadening in QCD effective kinetic theory through a moment expansion of the medium distribution function, a method traditionally used to derive relativistic viscous hydrodynamics from kinetic…
Tidal stripping is a key feature of the evolution of dark matter (DM) halos, and has major implications for the population of low-mass galaxies. In the case of ultralight DM, tidal stripping proceeds not only classically, at the tidal…
We show that the dissipation of small-scale perturbations through diffusion damping after neutrino decoupling lowers the present-day neutrino temperature compared to the expected value of $1.96\,{\text{K}}$. This reduces the relic neutrino…
We present a neural-network-based framework for modeling generalized parton distributions, referred to as NNGPD, in which GPDs are represented as flexible functions constrained through physically motivated integral relations. In this…
The scotogenic model defines a framework for radiative neutrino masses and provides a viable dark matter candidate. Since the scotogenic dark matter is leptophilic, indirect searches appear as an especially interesting possibility. Here we…
Axionic cosmologies constitute a class of models with phenomenologically rich symmetry breaking in the early universe. In the case where monopoles are present in such a background, the axion profile may be deformed; it is possible to…
Neutrino oscillations provide crucial insights into fundamental particle physics, with two-flavor approximations effectively describing reactor and atmospheric phenomena. This paper investigates the application of Physics-Informed Neural…
Searches for new physics typically rely on proton-proton collisions, where isolated mass bumps are the primary signatures. However, when a new particle is nearly degenerate in mass with a known Standard Model resonance, it can be partially…
