High Energy Physics - Phenomenology
The Large Hadron Collider (LHC) is sensitive to signals of beyond the Standard Model physics through a variety of channels including missing energy and resonance searches. In most searches, the new physics and the Standard Model backgrounds…
Recent years have seen dramatic improvements in the sensitivity of electron-based direct detection experiments. Typically, the sensitivity to dark matter scattering is determined in the light and heavy mediator mass limits. In this paper we…
We develop the Bogolyubov coefficient formalism for gravitational production of fermions with time-dependent mixing, which allows us to study a prototype neutrino system. The neutrino masses and mixings depend on the scalar field values,…
We investigate global tripartite quantum entanglement in three-flavor neutrino oscillations as a tool for probing the neutrino mass hierarchy and CP violation. Using the linear entropy formalism, we compute the global entanglement entropy…
We introduce a method for matching the neutral-current deep inelastic scattering process with parton showers at first order in the strong coupling. This multiplicative matching is achieved by reweighting leading-order Born-level events and…
We investigate the enhanced dynamically assisted electron-positron pair production in differently polarized electric fields with frequency chirps within the real-time Dirac-Heisenberg-Wigner formalism. The combined influence of the chirp…
In the Standard Model, the couplings between gauge bosons are tightly constrained by the principles of gauge symmetry and renormalizability. However, the presence of anomalous couplings suggests the possibility of new physics beyond the…
In this article, the electroweak transition form factors of $\Sigma_b\to\Sigma_c$, $\Xi'_b\to\Xi'_c$ and $\Omega_b\to\Omega_c$ are analyzed within the framework of three-point QCD sum rules. In phenomenological side, all possible couplings…
We investigate cosmic reheating dynamics in the presence of a transient condensate formed by bosonic decay products of the inflaton. We show that the emergence of such a condensate and the corresponding Bose enhancement can dramatically…
The Standard Model Effective Field Theory (SMEFT) provides a systematic framework to probe indirect effects of heavy new physics via precision measurements. While SMEFT constraints have been extensively studied using purely leptonic $Z$…
We investigate the solution of the Klein-Gordon equation for a charged scalar particle in an electromagnetic plane wave background with $k^2>0$, which can be realized in a medium with a refractive index $n<1$. We reduce the equation of…
The higher-twist formalism is used at $O(\alpha^2_s)$ to compute all possible medium-induced single-scattering emission kernels for an incoming highly energetic and virtual quark traversing the nuclear environment. The effects of the…
We present Higgsformer, a transformer-based architecture that classifies Higgs events at the Large Hadron Collider directly from raw inner tracker hits, bypassing the traditional reconstruction chain of intermediate physics objects. As a…
Monte Carlo simulations are an essential tool in particle physics data analysis. Events are typically generated alongside weights that redistribute the cross section of the simulated process across the phase space. These weights can be…
We generalize the nature of the so-called beam-dump ``ceiling'' beyond which the improvement on the sensitivity reach in the search for fast-decaying mediators dramatically slows down, and we point out its experimental implications that…
Minicharged particles (mCPs), hypothetical free particles with effective electric charges much smaller than the elementary charge, $e$, offer a valuable probe of dark sectors and fundamental physics through several clear experimental…
We discuss the associated $c\bar{c}$ and $l^+l^-$ pairs production in ultraperipheral heavy-ion collisions at high energies. Such a channel provides a novel probe for double-parton scattering (DPS) at small $x$ enabling one to probe the…
The strong decay $\psi(4040)\to D\bar D$ is anomalously suppressed despite ample phase space, whereas the $D\bar D^*$ and $D_s\bar D_s$ channels remain sizable. In this work, we study this suppression and the associated open-charm hierarchy…
We construct a framework for near-threshold $J/\psi$ photoproduction that combines a target-mass-corrected gluon-PDF moment expansion with an explicit scalar gravitational form factor associated with the QCD trace anomaly. Both…
Understanding the nature of dark matter (DM) is a fundamental challenge in particle physics. In this paper, we investigate the potential of vector boson fusion (VBF) processes at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) to demonstrate, as a proof of…
