We investigate Nelson--Barr solutions to the strong CP problem in which spontaneous CP violation is transmitted to the Standard Model through mixing with a vector-like partner of the SM quark doublet. We show that these constructions…
We investigate the influence of quantum-gravity (QG) induced corrections on the entanglement entropy associated with four-flavor neutrino oscillations in vacuum, incorporating an additional sterile neutrino in the (3+1) framework. Using the…
Spontaneous breaking of discrete symmetries play non-trivial role in many well-motivated particle physics models. However, it leads to a network of cosmologically unwanted domain walls (DWs) which can be made unstable by introducing a bias…
Stars are natural sources of feebly interacting particles, including putative particles with mass $m_\chi$ and electric charge $qe$. The emission of such millicharged particles (MCPs) causes an energy loss which can alter stellar evolution.…
We investigate the impact of millicharged particles (MCPs) on massive stars undergoing pulsational pair-instability supernovae and on the location of the lower edge of the black hole mass gap. We find that energy losses due to MCP emission…
We present a holographic construction of the QCD axion based on a warped 5D model. A key ingredient of our setup is the introduction of a bulk scalar field $\theta$, which is holographically dual to the topological operator of QCD. This…
We show that the matter-antimatter asymmetry in the present-day universe is mainly due to the highly suppressed detection probability for the primordial antimatter, which is a direct result of the Dirac-Feynman-Stueckelberg interpretation…
The nature of dark matter remains a central problem in cosmology. A compelling possibility is that dark matter is macroscopic, consisting of composite objects formed in the early Universe. We introduce the QCD-AQN framework, a…
Semileptonic $\tau$ decays mainly proceed via interactions between charged lepton and quark currents. The hadronization of the quark current is intrinsically nonperturbative and generally cannot be addressed analytically. In these…
Detecting a scalar singlet interacting through the Higgs portal demands a pivot from conventional particle detection strategies to a comprehensive examination of the effective potential's landscape. The presence, intensity, and first-order…
In case there are tensor interactions beyond the SM in the low-energy effective Lagrangian, their interference with the SM V-A currents yields a contribution for tau decays into three or more mesons that cannot be included in the famous…
Photon structure function has been a solid platform in testing strong interaction along with nucleon structure function. Strong Interaction has the property that it is perturbatively calculable at high energy but becomes non-perturbative at…
We propose a novel method for extracting non-singlet (NS) fragmentation functions (FFs) of light charged hadrons from charge asymmetries measured in hadron fragmentation, using data from both single-inclusive electron-positron annihilation…
Dark sectors with confining gauge interactions can provide both simple dark matter candidates and striking signals at colliders. We recast Large Hadron Collider searches for two different signatures of dark mesons that arise from a…
This review examines data from hadron-nucleus collisions, primarily focusing on hard processes like Drell-Yan, heavy flavor and quarkonium production. It highlights observed modifications of particle yields as functions of momentum and…
We propose a novel theoretical framework in which proton decay is induced by the dark matter. While proton decay requires violation of the $B+L$ symmetry, dark matter stability often relies on the presence of an unbroken symmetry. These…
In this work, we investigate the production and decay of the molecular states $cc\bar c\bar q$ with $J^P=1^+$ using the phenomenological analysis and effective Lagrangian approach. Based on an SU(3) flavor symmetry analysis to identify…
Long-baseline neutrino oscillation experiments require external constraints on $\sin^2\theta_{12}$ and $\Delta m_{21}^2$ to make precision measurements of the leptonic mixing matrix. These constraints come from measurements of the…
We derive supernova (SN) bounds on muon-philic bosons, taking advantage of the recent emergence of muonic SN models. Our main innovations are to consider scalars $\phi$ in addition to pseudoscalars $a$ and to include systematically the…
In a class of theories, dark matter is explained by postulating the existence of a `dark sector', which interacts gravitationally with ordinary matter. If this dark sector contains a U(1) symmetry, and a corresponding `dark' photon…
