We calculate kinematically fully exclusive cross sections for the 12C(p,2p)11B reaction at MeV proton beam energy, leading to the low-lying states of 11B. We use rigorous three-particle scattering framework extended to include simultaneously and consistently both core excitation and single-particle-like excitations. This predicts significant cross sections for the transitions to the final (4.45 MeV) and (6.74 MeV) excited states that cannot be populated through the direct single-particle excitation mechanism. We show that these two types of excitations manifest themselves with distinct and characteristic features in the scattering observables.

Classical pseudo-gauge transformations are discussed in the context of hydrodynamic models of heavy-ion collisions. A decomposition of the pseudo-gauge transformation into Lorentz-invariant tensors is made, which allows for better interpretation of its physical consequences. For pseudo-gauge transformations connecting two symmetric energy-momentum tensors, we find that the super-potential must obey a conservation law of the form . This equation, referred to below as the STS condition, represents a constraint that is hardly possible to be satisfied for tensors constructed out of the basic hydrodynamic variables such as temperature, baryon chemical potential, and the hydrodynamic flow. However, in a special case of the boost-invariant flow, the STS condition is automatically fulfilled and a non-trivial residual pseudo-gauge transformation defined by a single scalar field is allowed. In this case the bulk and shear viscosity coefficients become pseudo-gauge dependent; however, their specific linear combination appearing in the equations of motion remains pseudo-gauge invariant. This finding provides new insights into the role of pseudo-gauge transformations and pseudo-gauge invariance.

We present “Custodial Naturalness” as a new mechanism to explain the separation between the electroweak (EW) scale and the scale of potential ultraviolet completions of the Standard Model (SM). We assume classical scale invariance as well as an extension of the SM scalar sector custodial symmetry to . This requires a single new complex scalar field charged under a new gauge symmetry which partially overlaps with . Classical scale invariance and the high-scale scalar sector custodial symmetry are radiatively broken by quantum effects that generate a new intermediate scale by dimensional transmutation. The little hierarchy problem is solved because the Higgs boson arises as an elementary (i.e. non-composite) pseudo-Nambu-Goldstone boson (pNGB) of the spontaneously broken custodial symmetry. The minimal setting has the same number of parameters as the SM and predicts new physics in the form of a heavy with fixed couplings to the SM and a mass of , as well as a light but close-to invisible dilaton with a mass .

At the probe limit, the effects of three typical nonlinear corrections of Born-Infeld electrodynamics (BINE), logarithmic Lagrangian (LNE) and exponential Lagrangian (ENE) on the holographic ferromagnetic model under the four-dimensional Gauss-Bonnet gravity background are studied by numerical calculation. For comparison, the Gauss-Bonnet parameter α is fixed in the article. In the absence of an external magnetic field, three different nonlinear electrodynamic corrections reduce the critical temperature respectively and make the spontaneous magnetic moment more difficult to form. In the case of opening the external magnetic field, the magnetic susceptibility density always satisfies the Curie-Weiss law, and the increase of the nonlinear parameters under the three corrections will prolong the period of the external magnetic field. Comparing the three corrections horizontally, the exponential form of nonlinear electrodynamics correction has a more significant effect on the parameters.

In this study, we introduce a toroidal solution for charged anti-de Sitter black holes in N dimensions within the framework of the quadratic form of gravity, employing the coincident gauge condition [1]. We assume to take the form , where . These black hole solutions are characterized by flat or cylindrical horizons. A notable feature of these solutions is the presence of both electric monopole and quadrupole components in the potential field. These monopole and quadrupole components are inseparable and exhibit interconnected momenta, distinguishing them from the known charged solutions in the linear case of non-metricity theory. Furthermore, we demonstrate that the curvature singularities of these solutions are less severe than those in charged general relativity solutions. Finally, we calculate thermodynamic parameters, including entropy, Hawking temperature, and Gibbs free energy. These calculations confirm the stability of our model.

We argue that a measurement of the Higgs boson self-coupling becomes particularly meaningful in a large and important class of theories when its sensitivity is within 40% of its Standard Model value. This constitutes a target for a future impactful experimental achievement. It is derived from recently obtained results of how extreme the differences can be between effective field theory operator coefficients when their origins are from reasonable custodial-violating theories beyond the Standard Model.

In this work we investigate the effect of complexity factor on the formation of photon spheres for spherically symmetric compact objects. The complexity factor obtained from the orthogonal splitting of the Riemann curvature tensor connects the geometric attributes of a compact spherically symmetric gravitating object with its matter inhomogeneity and pressure anisotropy via a scalar term. The novelty of the complexity factor is the inherent simple definition that identifies the evolution of matter tensors inside a given region of space-time. Such identification helps to obtain an equivalence class of gravitating compact objects based on their degree of complexity with zero complexity identified as the simplest system. On the other hand shadows and photon rings have become essential for identifying compact regions of space time characterised by massive gravity. Advanced observational data analysis tools augments the hope for identification of exotic gravitational objects, like the so called “black hole mimickers” and may serve as testing ground for other gravity theories. In this context we explore how complexity of compact objects (a fundamentally theoretical classification) is connected to the photon ring (an astrophysical observable in the universe) and its stability. We consider zero complexity systems and discuss its significance with respect to (wrt) formation of photon rings and hence shadows.

This study investigates the realization of R-symmetric Higgs inflation within the framework of no-scale-like supergravity, aiming to elucidate the formation of primordial black holes and observable gravitational waves within a class of GUT models. We explore the possibility of an ultra-slow-roll phase in a hybrid inflation framework, where the GUT Higgs field primarily takes on the role of the inflaton. The amplification of the scalar power spectrum gives rise to scalar-induced gravitational waves and the generation of primordial black holes. The predicted stochastic gravitational wave background falls within the sensitivity range of existing and upcoming gravitational wave detectors, while primordial black holes hold the potential to explain the abundance of dark matter. Furthermore, we highlight the significance of the leading-order nonrenormalizable term in the superpotential of achieving inflationary observables consistent with the latest experimental data. Additionally, the predicted range of the tensor-to-scalar ratio, a key measure of primordial gravitational waves, lies within the observational window of future experiments searching for B-mode polarization patterns in cosmic microwave background data.

Inspired by the geometry of the Ernst black hole which interpolates the static spherically symmetric Schwarzschild black hole and the static axially symmetric magnetic Melvin spacetime, in this paper, we aim to present a solution to Einstein's field equation in vacuum to interpolate the Schwarzschild black hole and the Levi-Civita spacetime. Hence, we shall call the solution the Schwarzschild-Levi-Civita black hole. Effectively the solution is a two-parameter non-asymptotically flat black hole that is static, axially symmetric, and singular in its axis of symmetry.
