High Energy Physics - Phenomenology
We explore the coincidence of scales between cosmic inflation and right-handed neutrinos in seesaw models. We show that inflation models, which will be tested by next-generation CMB experiments, can produce right-handed neutrinos in…
Pairwise Fisher graphs capture local covariance information, but they cannot distinguish an irreducible multi-observable radiation pattern from a collection of ordinary pairwise correlations. We show that this missing structure is naturally…
We develop a novel strategy for accessing the transversity parton distribution function (PDF) of the nucleon within collinear factorization using near-side energy-energy correlators in the dihadron fragmentation framework. We show how this…
We investigate the femtoscopic correlation functions of systems associated with the $\Omega(2012)$, $\Omega(2380)$, and $\Omega_c(3120)$ resonances, with the aim of elucidating their internal structures. By employing effective potential…
The theory of bremsstrahlung $e \to e\gamma$ by extremely high energy electrons passing through ordinary matter has been qualitatively incomplete. We revisit the suppression of bremsstrahlung by the Landau-Pomeranchuk-Migdal (LPM) effect,…
Hadronic form factors fulfill dispersion relations and superconvergence sum rules for their spectral density as genuine imprints of QCD. We show several instances where these conditions are flagrantly violated due to the lack of information…
A new class of symmetries of two Higgs doublet models was recently discovered, the result of an unorthodox transformation on scalar and gauge fields and spacetime coordinates. It was explicitly shown that it is possible to choose Yukawa…
We investigate baryonic vortices as topological excitations in rotating nuclear matter within the framework of chiral perturbation theory. We identify two distinct configurations: local and global vortices, both carrying the baryon number…
The simultaneous observation of strong sequential suppression and small azimuthal anisotropy for bottomonium states provides a stringent constraint on the time scale and geometry of the suppression mechanism. We propose an early-time…
The STAR collaboration at RHIC and the ALICE collaboration at the LHC have reported dielectron spectra in the intermediate mass region, M = (1-3) GeV, which reveal a strikingly constant, energy-independent emission temperature $T_{IMR}…
We present predictions for scattering observables and femtoscopic correlation functions (CFs) of the $I=2$ $\Sigma_c^{++}\pi^{+}$, $\Sigma_c^{0}\pi^{-}$ systems and its heavy-flavor counterpart $\Sigma_b^{+}\pi^{+}$. In both heavy-quark…
The process-independence of the color dipole amplitude is a cornerstone of high-energy Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD). However, standard phenomenological approaches typically rely on rigid parametric ansatzes and often require ad-hoc…
Minimal Flavor Violation (MFV) provides a compelling framework for exploring physics beyond the Standard Model, in which new QCD-singlet fields transforming under the global $\mathrm{SU}(3)^3$ quark flavor symmetry can naturally be stable…
Axions coupled to thermal non-Abelian gauge fields may have cosmological significance. As the heat bath defines a frame, its influence depends separately on energy and momentum. A light-like momentum ($k \approx \omega$) is relevant for the…
We identify an overlooked Wess--Zumino--Witten structure in the hidden-local-symmetry~(HLS) formulation of vector mesons. The newly identified term generically leads to the topological quantization of the vector-meson anomalous couplings.…
We present the analytic integration of the iterated single-unresolved subtraction terms in the extension of the CoLoRFulNNLO subtraction scheme to color-singlet production in hadron collisions. We exploit the fact that, in this scheme,…
Charged Higgs-boson pair production at hadron colliders yields information about the trilinear couplings involving charged Higgs fields in extensions of the Standard Model (SM). We consider the type-I two-Higgs doublet model (2HDM)…
In the canonical type-I seesaw mechanism for neutrino masses, a residual symmetry known as lepton parity: $(-1)^L$, remains preserved. Introducing a Majorana fermion $S$ with even lepton parity renders it naturally stable, making it a…
We introduce a model-independent framework to reinterpret Belle II results using only public data, analytically reconstructing the mapping between true and reconstructed kinematic variables within the statistically dominant Inclusive…
We propose the complex singlet-extended 2-Higgs-Doublet Model (cS2HDM), a spin-0 Dark Matter (DM) model with a Higgs sector consisting of two Higgs doublets and a complex singlet, as a benchmark for LHC DM searches. The model predicts a…
