R. Chistov, on behalf of the CMS Collaboration
In this talk recent new results from CMS on the search for New Physics effects in heavy flavor decays are presented. Particularly, lepton flavor unification violation was searched for by measuring (R(K)) and (R(J/psi)) ratios. Also, lepton flavor violating decay (taurightarrow 3mu) was searched for and upper limit on its branching fraction was extracted. The discussed results were obtained with the RUN II data of pp collisions at (sqrt{s}=13) TeV.

The (K^{+}topi^{0}mu^{+}nugamma) ((K_{mu 3gamma})) decay is measured with OKA detector at the RF-separated 17.7 GeV/c momentum kaon beam from the U-70 synchrotron. The data obtained corresponds to the value of (2.62times 10^{10}) ‘‘live’’ kaons passing to the decay volume. About 1000 (K_{mu 3gamma}) events are extracted. The ratio of (textrm{Br}(K_{mu 3gamma})/textrm{Br}(K_{mu 3})) is measured. The T-odd correlation ({xi}_{pimugamma}), which is the mixed product of the momenta of (mu^{+},pi^{0}), and (gamma) in the kaon rest frame, is measured. The asymmetry of the distribution in (xi) is characterized by the ratio (A_{xi}=(N_{+}-N_{-})/(N_{+}+N_{-})), where (N_{+}) ((N_{-})) is the number of events with positive (negative) (xi). The values of (A_{xi}) is obtained. Our results are preliminary, with systematic errors being estimated.

Spectroscopy of the fully heavy tetraquarks with open charm and/or bottom is studied within the relativistic quark model, based on the quasipotential approach and QCD. A special emphasize is given to the asymmetric in flavor compositions. A tetraquark is considered as a bound state of a diquark and an antidiquark which are treated as a spatially extended colored objects and interact as a whole. Relativistic effects are consistently taken into account. It is found, that a significant mixing between the asymmetric in flavor states of tetraquarks occurs for the same total momentum-parity ((J^{P})), but different full spins of the tetraquark ((S)) within the same excitation. We confront the calculated masses of such tetraquarks with the fall-apart decay thresholds into a pair of heavy mesons. Such comparison allows us to select states that could be observed as narrow resonances.

Joint analysis of the results of the Neutrino-4 experiment and the data of the GALLEX, SAGE and BEST experiments confirms the parameters of neutrino oscillations declared by the Neutrino-4 experiment ((Delta m_{14}^{2}=7.3text{ eV}^{2}) and (sin^{2}2theta_{14}approx 0.36)) and increases the confidence level to (5.8sigma). Such a sterile neutrino thermalizes in cosmic plasma, contributes 5(%) to the energy density of the Universe, and can explain (15{-}20%) of dark matter. It is discussed that the extension of the neutrino model by introducing two more heavy sterile neutrinos in accordance with the number of types of active neutrinos but with very small mixing angles to avoid thermalization will make it possible to explain the large-scale structure of the Universe and bring the contribution of sterile neutrinos to the dark matter of the Universe to the level of 27(%). This approach to the problem of dark matter means that dark matter can be explained in terms of an extended Standard Model with right-handed neutrinos.

Two-dimensional (2D) materials exhibit a significant potential for thermal management and thermoelectric energy generation due to their unique electrical and thermal transport properties that enhance performance. Their notable stretchability indicates the feasibility of employing strain engineering to optimize both electronic and thermal properties. In this study, we apply first-principles computational methods and the Boltzmann transport equation to explore the impact of strain and higher-order anharmonicity from four-phonon (4ph) scattering on the thermal conductivity (κL) of 2D silica. Our results indicate that under a small strain of 3%, κL increases due to the decrease in the phonon scattering rate and phonon phase space. However, under larger strains (8%), κL decreases significantly due to an increased phonon–phonon scattering rates. These findings provide deeper insights into the thermal transport behavior of 2D silica, paving the way for future research in strain and phonon engineering in 2D materials.

Nanostructure-based metasurfaces provide a promising route for arbitrarily manipulating light waves, especially versatile absorption. Although various meta-absorbers have been studied for perfect absorption, it remains a challenge to achieve high-contrast polarization-dependent absorption with dynamic tunability. Here, a dual-metal hybrid metasurface is demonstrated for polarization-selective perfect absorption and reflection with liquid tuning capabilities in the infrared band. Based on the metal–insulator–metal architecture, the metasurface composed of Al/Ti nanostrips enables an intense absorption resonance at x-polarization and reflects light as a mirror at y-polarization, thus acting as a high-performance linear polarizer. The absorption peak wavelength can be continuously tailored from 1200 to 1850 nm with an average absorption > 99% by scaling the unit-cell period of metasurfaces. Furthermore, the perfect absorption wavelength of the metasurface exhibits a large range switch (>750 nm) through immersion tuning, and its absorption remains above 99.5%. The proposed dual-metal hybrid metasurface for liquid-tunable absorption can promote practical technologies of dynamic polarizers, photodetectors, and optical imaging.

The properties of luminous, blue, super-early galaxies (a.k.a. blue monsters) at redshift z > 10 have been successfully explained by the attenuation-free model (AFM), in which dust is pushed to kiloparsec scales by radiation-driven outflows. As an alternative to AFM, here we assess whether “attenuation-free” conditions can be replaced by a “dust-free” scenario in which dust is produced in very limited amounts and/or later destroyed in the interstellar medium. To this aim, we compare the predicted values of the dust-to-stellar mass ratio, ξd, with those measured in 15 galaxies at z > 10 from James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) spectra, when outflows are not included. Our model constrains ξd as a function of several parameters by allowing wide variations in the initial mass function (IMF), dust and metal production, and dust destruction for a set of supernova (SN) progenitor models and explosion energies. We find that log ξd ≈ −2.2 for all systems, which is indicative of the dominant role of SN dust production over destruction in these early galaxies. Such a value is strikingly different from the data, which instead indicates log ξd ≲ −4. We conclude that dust destruction alone can hardly explain the transparency of blue monsters. Other mechanisms, such as outflows, might be required.

Unconventional antiferromagnets (AFMs) with non-relativistic spin-splitting, such as the recently discovered altermagnet, have recently gained significant interest due to their potential for novel quantum phenomena and spintronic applications. The compensated magnetization in unconventional AFMs is protected by spin-space symmetries. In this work, we explore the symmetry-breaking effects and identify three distinct mechanisms for inducing net spin magnetizations in unconventional AFMs with collinear or non-collinear spins: (1) finite size effect, (2) extrinsic spin canting effect, and (3) irradiation with circularly polarized light. We show that the induced spin magnetizations are controllable and manifest as diverse intriguing phenomena. For the finite size system, the confined direction of a two-dimensional AM creates quantum-well-like subbands that determine the spin magnetization. This effect can be experimentally probed by measuring the spin density of states and the spin-polarization of Andreev-bound states within planar Josephson junctions. In the case of spin canting effect, it leads to peculiar anisotropic and non-monotonic behaviors in the superconducting proximity effect. Lastly, with circularly polarized light, spin magnetization is driven by the polarized light and the chirality of non-collinear magnetic order, thus offering a direct means of detecting the chirality of magnetic order in real materials. Our findings provide valuable insight into understanding and probing the spin magnetization in unconventional AFM materials.

The Hartree–Fock approximation for bosons employs variational wave functions that are a combination of permanents. These are bosonic counterpart of the fermionic Slater determinants, but with the significant distinction that the single-particle orbitals used to construct a permanent can be arbitrary and do not need to be orthogonal to each other. Typically, the variational wave function may break the symmetry of the Hamiltonian, resulting in qualitative and quantitative errors in physical observables. A straightforward method to restore symmetry is projection after variation, where we project the variational wave function onto the desired symmetry sector. However, a more effective strategy is variation after projection, which involves first creating a symmetry-adapted variational wave function and then optimizing its parameters. We have devised a scheme to realize this strategy and have tested it on various models with symmetry groups ranging from , , to . In all the models and symmetry sectors studied, the variational wave function accurately estimates not only the energy of the lowest eigenstate but also the single-particle correlation function, as it approximate the target eigenstate very well on the wave function level. We have applied this method to study few-body bound states, superfluid fraction, and Yrast lines of some Bose–Hubbard models. This approach should be valuable for studying few-body or mesoscopic bosonic systems.

This approach should be valuable for studying few-body or mesoscopic bosonic systems.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":20152,"journal":{"name":"Physica A: Statistical Mechanics and its Applications","volume":"664 ","pages":"Article 130449"},"PeriodicalIF":2.8,"publicationDate":"2025-02-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143464885","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"物理与天体物理","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
