We reinterpret publicly available $K^+ \to \pi^+ \nu \bar{\nu}$ data collected by NA62 from 2016 to 2024 to constrain the fundamental vectorial coupling of the QCD axion to down and strange quarks. Using a fully reproducible likelihood…
Momentum conservation in the nucleon is examined in terms of continuous flow of the momentum current density (or in short, momentum flow), which receives contributions from both kinetic motion and interacting forces involving quarks and…
Whenever an anomaly in the flavour sector appears, analyses are performed examining whether it can be explained by adding a small number of carefully-chosen flavour non-universal four-fermion SMEFT operators. These analyses are typically…
The possibility of searching for right-handed neutrinos at the MoEDAL's Apparatus for Penetrating Particles (MAPP) detector is investigated in this work. In particular, pair-production of right-handed (RH) neutrinos $N$ from either a $B-L$…
Model-independent theoretical upper bound on the thermal dark matter (DM) mass can be derived from the maximum inelastic DM cross-section featuring the whole observed DM abundance. We deploy partial-wave unitarity of the scattering matrix…
This article reviews unitarization methods essential for extending Effective Field Theories (EFTs) beyond their perturbative limits, particularly in hadronic and electroweak (EW) sectors. Perturbative EFTs, like Chiral Perturbation Theory…
We numerically evaluate the two-loop QCD squared matrix element for in $q\bar{q}\to Z$ and $q\bar{q}\to Z\gamma$ with heavy top and bottom quarks circulating in a triangular fermion loop, by simultaneously subtracting infrared, ultraviolet,…
We numerically compute the two-loop QCD corrections to $Z\gamma$ production at the LHC mediated by light- and heavy-quark box loops. The calculation employs the pipeline of refs. arXiv:2407.18051 and arXiv:2510.18801, which performs Monte…
We propose new concepts for experiments in which intense high energy photon or muon beams are employed parasitically to detect scattering by cosmic heavy weakly interacting dark matter (DM) particles. We show that the scattering…
We present first results for triply polarized $WWW$ events at the LHC. The calculation is performed at leading order for fully leptonic decays using the Standard Model. Employing an inclusive kinematic cut setup, we found that the…
We present updated inclusive cross sections for electroweak Higgs boson pair production for energies of relevance to the LHC and High-Luminosity phase of the LHC. The cross sections are presented at N$^3$LO QCD+NLO EW for vector-boson…
The Big-Bang nucleosynthesis (BBN) initial neutron abundance and the neutron lifetime depend on the magnitude of the Fermi coupling constant $G_F$. When allowing for radiative corrections, $G_F$ depends on the symmetry breaking Weinberg…
We study the Sommerfeld enhancement of the annihilation cross section of dark matter into heavier unstable particles. In this process, the annihilation products become non-relativistic near the kinematical threshold. If they experience…
We presents an investigation of the $K^*(1680)$ state in its strong decays into two-body finial states within the flux-tube model and quark pair creation model. Since the charge conjugation parity is not conserved in the strange sector, the…
An axion-like field coupled to an Abelian gauge field provides one of the simplest inflationary models that is free from the eta problem and possesses an efficient reheating mechanism. For sufficiently large coupling, this system enters a…
We propose a method for solving the Jalilian-Marian-Iancu-McLerran-Weigert-Leonidov-Kovner (JIMWLK) evolution equation on quantum computers. Our approach exploits the reformulation of the JIMWLK equation as a Lindblad master equation…
We develop a framework for testing quantum gravity through the stochastic gravitational-wave background produced by evaporating near-Planck-mass primordial black holes. Because gravitons free-stream from the emission region without…
In this manuscript we analyzed the elastic $pp$ and $p\bar{p}$ cross-section in the Color Glass Condensate framework, treating them as a dilute-dense system, and derived the phenomenological constraints (upper bounds) on the…
Supergravity provides the natural supersymmetric framework for early universe cosmology. A broad class of inflationary models in no-scale supergravity yields tree-level predictions for cosmic microwave background (CMB) observables that…
We examine decoherence in neutrino oscillations induced by an ultralight scalar field coupled to neutrinos. The scalar induces time- and position-dependent shifts in the neutrino mass matrix. Neutrinos sample different field configurations…
