We build upon the intriguing possibility that the recently reported nano-Hz gravitational wave signal by Pulsar Timing Array (PTA) experiments is sourced by a strong first-order phase transition from a nearly conformal dark sector. The phase transition has to be strongly supercooled to explain the signal amplitude, while the critical temperature has to be in the (GeV) range, as dictated by the peak frequency of the gravitational wave spectrum. However, the resulting strong supercooling exponentially dilutes away any pre-existing baryon asymmetry and dark matter, calling for a new paradigm of their productions. We then develop a mechanism of cold darkogenesis that generates a dark asymmetry during the phase transition from the textured dark Higgs field. This dark asymmetry is transferred to the visible sector via neutron portal interactions, resulting in the observed baryon asymmetry. Furthermore, the mechanism naturally leads to the correct abundance of asymmetric dark matter, with self-interaction of the scale that is of the right order to solve the diversity problem in galactic rotation curves. Collider searches for mono-jets and dark matter direct detection experiments can dictate the viability of the model.

In this paper, we present a systematic derivation aimed at obtaining general expressions for on-shell recursion relations for tree-level open string amplitudes. Our approach involves applying the BCFW shift to an open string amplitude written in terms of multiple Gaussian hypergeometric functions. By employing binomial expansions, we demonstrate that the shifted amplitudes manifest simple poles, which correspond to scattering channels of intermediate states. Using the residue theorem, we thereby derive a general expression for these relations.

The neutron-rich nucleus 11Be is one of the most enigmatic exotic nuclei in the periodic table. It exhibits a multitude of unique and intriguing phenomena within a single nucleus, including the halo phenomenon, clustering structure, and parity inversion. A unified description of these exotic properties represents a significant challenge for the nuclear physics field. By employing the axially deformed relativistic Hartree-Fock-Bogoliubov (D-RHFB) model, we have successfully reproduced the parity inversion and the one-neutron halo in 11Be, and revealed the underlying cluster structure. It is found that the intrusion of the sd-shell, which results in the parity inversion, is coherently connected with the halo and cluster structures. In particular, the s-wave is responsible for the halo formation, and the mixing of - and -waves enhances the cluster structure. This work elucidates the coherence between the parity inversion and the halo/cluster structures of 11Be, and addresses the long-standing challenge of providing a unified explanation for the multiple exotic phenomena observed in 11Be.

We report precision mass measurements of 133Sb, Te, and I, produced at CARIBU at Argonne National Laboratory's ATLAS facility and measured using the Canadian Penning Trap mass spectrometer. These masses clarify an anomaly in the 133Te β-decay. The masses reported in the 2020 Atomic Mass Evaluation (M. Wang et al., 2021) produce Te)=2920(6) keV; however, the highest-lying 133I level populated in this decay is observed at keV, resulting in an anomalous keV. Our new measurements give keV, a factor of five more precise, yielding keV, a 3σ shift from the previous results. This resolves this anomaly, but indicates further anomalies in our understanding of the structure of this isotope.

After imposing the weak energy condition on dark matter, we find that even in the absence of charge, a spherically symmetric de Sitter black hole with perfect fluid dark matter may still possess a Cauchy horizon. This paper investigates the stability of the Cauchy horizon in such a black hole under perturbations from a massless scalar field. Through numerical calculations of the massless scalar field's quasinormal modes, we discover that in this spacetime, when the black hole approaches extremality, i.e., when the dark-matter parameter b approaches its maximum value , the Strong Cosmic Censorship (SCC) conjecture may be violated. This is the first instance of classical SCC violation observed in a spherically symmetric, uncharged black hole. Additionally, we explore the region of SCC violation within the parameter space . Our findings indicate that as the cosmological constant increases, the violation region initially expands and then contracts.

Collisions of isobar nuclei, those with the same mass number but different structure parameters, provide a new way to probe the initial condition of the heavy ion collisions. Using transport model simulation of 96Ru+96Ru and 96Zr+96Zr collisions at two energies TeV and 5.02 TeV, where 96Ru and 96Zr nuclei have significantly different deformations and radial profiles, we identify sources of eccentricities contributing independently to the final state harmonic flow . The efficacy for flow generation differs among these sources, and explains the modest energy dependence of the isobar ratios of . Additionally, a significant component of is found to be uncorrelated with the eccentricity, but is instead generated dynamically during system evoluation. Experimental measurement of these ratios at the LHC energy and comparison with RHIC energy can provide insight into the collision-energy dependence of the initial condition.

We study a one-loop induced neutrino mass model with an inert isospin triplet scalar field of and heavier isospin doublet vector-like leptons and singlet Majorana right-handed fermions. In addition to the neutrino mass matrix, we explain sizable scale of muon anomalous magnetic dipole moment by introducing a singly-charged boson . We show numerical analysis of neutrino oscillation, lepton flavor violations, Z boson decays, and demonstrate our allowed regions in cases of normal and inverted hierarchies. We find the sizable scale of muon anomalous magnetic dipole moment for both cases. Then, we move on to the discussion of dark matter candidates to satisfy the relic density where we have two candidates; fermionic dark matter and bosonic one. And, we classify four cases fermionic dark matter with normal and inverted hierarchies, bosonic one with normal and inverted hierarchies and search for each of the allowed points in the model.
