In this paper, we present HyperPrecision, a Mathematica package for high-precision numerical evaluation of general Horn-type multivariate hypergeometric functions and their Laurent expansions in a small parameter $\epsilon$. Such functions…
We investigate the random close packing density, $\phi_\textrm{RCP}$, of polydisperse hard sphere systems using a theoretical framework based on the equilibrium model of crowding. We derive a closed-form solution for $\phi_\textrm{RCP}$ in…
Tailoring microscopic details to tune bulk rheology is a key paradigm in soft matter physics, yet the vast parameter space associated with constituent interactions precludes a fully systematic approach. To address this, we have designed a…
Grain piles embody the complex mechanics and kinematics of disordered granular materials, including solid-like and fluid-like behaviours, complex kinematics, and preparation history-dependent stress variation. It is widely believed that the…
Microfluidic channels have emerged as useful tools to control dynamic forcing on transported microscale objects, as encountered in emulsions, biological flows, and other soft matter systems. Tailored channel designs enable precise…
Electrostatic interactions are key to the recognition processes of proteins and DNA and have been previously documented for the action of repair enzymes. Uracil-DNA glycosylase (UDG) is the first in a sequence of enzymes that act in the…
We present an exact solution of the discrete wormlike chain (DWLC) model describing a single semiflexible polymer under arbitrary external force. Through exact closure relations between pair angular correlations and single-site angular…
We study the thermodynamics of the symmetry-improved Cornwall-Jackiw-Tomboulis (SICJT) formalism and apply it to a low-energy effective theory of QCD. In the symmetry-improved formulation, Ward-Takahashi identities are restored by auxiliary…
We present a quantum-field-theoretic treatment of massive chiral fields in which particles possess well-defined chirality and helicity. This framework reproduces the chiral oscillation formula previously obtained in first-quantized…
Spontaneous demixing in active matter is a ubiquitous phenomenon that is crucial for numerous living processes ranging from bacterial swarming to sorting of cells in dense tissues. Here, we systematically investigate the effect of spatially…
We study the one-loop Polyakov-loop effective potential in pure gluonic matter under constant acceleration. We perform the computation in both the Euclidean Rindler spacetime and the optical spacetime, which are related via a conformal…
In this study we apply the Remler formalism to charmonium production at SPS and GSI/FAIR energies in order to investigate the effects of baryon-rich matter on charmonium production and dissociation in heavy-ion collisions within the…
Axion dark matter in high-scale inflation is subject to the isocurvature constraint, since quantum fluctuations of the axion field during inflation may exceed the current CMB bound. One conventional way to suppress these fluctuations is to…
Contrary to conventional expectations, we identify a class of extended scalar-sector scenarios in which final states with two, three, or four Higgs bosons constitute the leading discovery channels for new physics at the LHC. In these…
The CMS collaboration has reported a measurement of $\Upsilon$ decays to ditaus using $61.9~{\rm fb}^{-1}$ of scouting data. If interpreted as the decay of $\Upsilon(1S,2S,3S)$, the measured ditau rate is more than ten times that seen in…
Arranging multiple arches in a circular pattern and fusing them at their midpoint yields a three-dimensional configuration that we refer to as midpoint-fused arches (MFA). This study investigates the structural bistability of MFA, i.e.,…
Many active systems move in complex environments whose mechanical response is slow and history dependent. To address this regime, we study the collective dynamics of self-sustained active particles in non-Markovian media within a…
In this work we generalize the thermal decoupling, or freeze-out, of weakly interacting massive particle dark matter within the Tsallis nonextensive formalism. The generalization is implemented through $q$-deformed distribution functions…
Astrophysical neutrinos provide a unique probe of neutrino flavor changes over cosmological baselines. While the tau component of the neutrino flux is expected to arise almost entirely from mixing, current measurements rely primarily on…
The self-assembly of photonic nanostructures in insects involves chitin, proteins, and lipids. While synthetic photonic systems have been extensively studied, current lipid-based self-assembly systems are limited in periodicity to…
