Recent ACT measurements favor a scalar spectral index n_s larger than the Planck value, posing a challenge to many single-field slow-roll inflation models. We show that a smooth, localized step in the inflaton potential can shift the…
Understanding axion production in the early Universe remains a pivotal challenge, given the axion as a compelling cold dark matter candidate. Conventional misalignment scenarios often overlook the possibility that a large initial axion…
We investigate the leading-power fragmentation of triply heavy $\Omega$ baryons in high-energy hadronic collisions. Extending our previous work on the $\Omega_{3c}$ sector, we release the full OMG3Q1.0 family of collinear fragmentation…
We investigate the core dynamics behind exotic matter formation via the TQ4Q1.1 set of collinear fragmentation functions for fully charmed or bottomed tetraquarks in three quantum configurations: scalar ($0^{++}$), axial vector ($1^{+-}$),…
We investigate the high-energy production of tetraquark-jet systems at the LHC and its forthcoming High-Luminosity upgrade. In this review, we examine the leading-power fragmentation of fully heavy tetraquarks ($T_{4Q}$) in hadronic…
We examine the Regge theoretical properties for the scaling observed in pp elastic scattering differential cross-sections at the LHC. A positive signature amplitude (i.e. the Pomeron) with scaling properties has been derived. It is found to…
Exclusive semileptonic and nonleptonic $J/\psi$ decays are investigated in the framework of the relativistic quark model based on the quasipotential approach and quantum chromodynamics. The form factors parameterizing the hadronic matrix…
We investigate vacuum decays in the early Universe in the presence of curvature perturbations. For sufficiently large perturbations associated with over-densities, we find that the bounce solution develops an oscillating middle stage near…
We compute angular phase-space integrals with three and four denominators analytically, working within dimensional regularisation via the Mellin-Barnes (MB) representation. The approach converts multifold MB integrals into real parametric…
Dark particles with lepton-flavor-violating couplings to the tau lepton can induce rare neutrinoless $\tau$ decays with large final state multiplicities. We study models where transitions of the type $\tau^\pm\to \ell^\pm\,\phi$, with…
We propose a quark flavor model based on modular $S'_4$ with a general CP symmetry. CP violation in the quark sector is entirely realized by the modulus $\langle \tau \rangle$. We show that the canonical normalization induced by the…
This paper presents a detailed description of a model-independent method for the direct measurement of the $\Upsilon(4S) \to B^+ B^-$ and $\Upsilon(4S) \to B^0 \bar{B}^0$ production fractions at $B$ factories. The method is based on…
JWST has revealed an abundant population of compact, low-metallicity "Little Red Dots" (LRDs) at high redshift, challenging conventional scenarios in which supermassive black holes (SMBHs) grow from stellar-mass seeds. We consider a…
High-frequency gravitational waves, particularly in the range $f \gtrsim 10^{10}~\mathrm{Hz}$, represent a compelling probe of physics beyond the Standard Model. Due to the absence of direct detection methods in this frequency regime,…
Scalars carrying a conserved global charge $Q$ can form stable localized field configurations composed of a large number of particles. These non-topological solitons are spherically symmetric and are called Q-balls. While usually analyzed…
Rare $B$-meson decays mediated by $b\to s\ell\ell$ transitions constitute sensitive probes of physics beyond the Standard Model, and have triggered considerable interest due to hints for deviations from the Standard-Model prediction. To…
Dwarf spheroidal galaxies provide some of the most sensitive astrophysical probes of ultra-light dark matter (ULDM), but the inferred constraints can be affected by two important systematics: tidal interactions with the Milky Way, which…
We investigate a reported discrepancy between a high-energy neutrino detection at KM3NeT and its non-observation at IceCube, which suggests a statistical tension of up to 3.5 standard deviations. This gap has been proposed to arise from…
We formulate a covariant mechanical equilibrium condition for the quark-hadron mixed phase boundary in the presence of a magnetic-field-induced pressure anisotropy. Using the \emph{relativistic thin-shell} formalism to describe the…
We report calculations of space-like electromagnetic form factors and charge radii of pseudoscalar mesons, covering both light and heavy-light flavour sectors within a flavour-dependent Bethe-Salpeter framework.
