Motivated by the near-threshold enhancement and the dip structure around 1~GeV in the $pi^0pi^0$ invariant mass distribution of the process $D^0to pi^0pi^0bar{K}^0$ observed by the CLEO Collaboration, we have investigated this process by taking into account the contribution from the $S$-wave pseudoscalar meson-pseudoscalar meson interactions within the chiral unitary approach, and also the one from the intermediate resonance $K^{*}(892)$. Our results are in good agreement with the CLEO measurements, which implies that, the near-threshold enhancement near the $pi^0pi^0$ threshold is mainly due to the contributions from the scalar meson $f_0(500)$ and the intermediate $K^*$, and the cusp structure around 1~GeV in the $pi^0pi^0$ invariant mass distribution should be associated with the scalar meson $f_0(980)$.

We study the potential of a set of future detectors, proposed to be located at the European Spallation Source (ESS), to probe neutrino millicharges through coherent elastic neutrino-nucleus scattering. In particular, we focus on detectors with similar characteristics as those that are under development for operation at the ESS, including detection technologies based on cesium iodine, germanium, and noble gases. Under the considered conditions, we show that the Ge detector, with a lighter nuclear target mass with respect to CsI and to a noble gas like Xe, is more efficient to constrain neutrino millicharges, reaching a sensitivity of $sim 10^{-9}e$ for diagonal neutrino millicharges, and $sim 10^{-8}e$ for the transition ones. In addition, we study the effects of including electron scattering processes for the CsI detector, achieving an expected sensitivity of $sim 10^{-10} e$ for the diagonal millicharges.

In this work, we have implemented $A_4$ modular symmetry in the left-right symmetric linear seesaw model. Interestingly, such modular symmetry restricts the proliferation of flavon fields, and as a result, the predictibility of the model is enhanced. The fermion sector of the model comprises of quarks, leptons and a sterile fermion in each generation, while the scalar sector consists of Higgs doublets and bidoublets. We investigate numerically various Yukawa coupling co-efficients, the neutrino masses and mixing parameters in our intended model and predictions become consistent with $3sigma$ range of current neutrino oscillation data. We also studied the non-unitarity, effects on lepton flavor violation in our model and evolution of lepton asymmetry to explain the current baryon asymmetry of the universe.

We present a new, simple approach to the study of semileptonic $B to D^* ell nu_ell$ decays based on the angular distributions of the final state particles only. Our approach is model independent and never requires the knowledge of $vert V_{cb}vert$. By studying such distributions in the case of light leptons, a comparison between results from different data sets from the Belle and BelleII Collaborations and between data and Standard Model calculations is also given for several interesting quantities. A good consistency is observed between some of the experimental results and the theoretical predictions.

We study conversion processes between gravitons and dark photons and reveal the effects of dark photons on the polarization of gravitational waves. Considering cosmological dark magnetic fields, we investigate the evolution of the intensity and polarization of gravitational waves through the conversion. Specifically, we demonstrate that for minimal coupling between gravitons and dark photons, the intensity, circular polarization, and linear polarization evolve separately. We derive explicit formulas for the statistical mean and variance of the intensity and polarization when the gravitational waves pass through magnetic fields with random orientation. The formulas capture how the initial polarization of dark photons will be imprinted on the observed gravitational wave background.

A very pressing question in contemporary physics is the identity of Dark Matter (DM), and one that has not been answered affirmatively to any degree so far. Primordial Black Holes (PBHs) are one of the most well-motivated DM candidates. Light enough PBHs have been constrained by either the non-detection of their Hawking radiation itself, or by the non-observation of any measurable effects of this radiation on astrophysical and cosmological observables. We constrain the PBH density by their Hawking radiation effect on the intergalactic medium (IGM) temperature evolution. We use the latest deductions of IGM temperature from Lyman-$alpha$ forest observations. We put constraints on the fraction of PBH DM with masses $5 times 10^{15}$ g - $10^{17}$ g separately for spinning and non-spinning BHs. We derive constraints by dealing with the heating effects of the astrophysical reionization of the IGM in two ways. In one way, we completely neglect this heating due to astrophysical sources, thus giving us weaker constraints, but completely robust to the reionization history of the universe. In the second way, we utilise some modelling of the ionization and temperature history, and use it to derive more stringent constraints. We find that for non-spinning PBHs of mass $10^{16}$ g, the current measurements can constrain the PBH-density to be $lesssim$ 0.1% of the total DM. We find that these constraints from the latest Lyman-$alpha$ forest temperature measurements are competitive, and hence provide a new observable to probe the nature of PBH DM. The systematics affecting Lyman-$alpha$ forest measurements are different from other constraining observations, and thus this is a complementary probe.
当代物理学中一个非常紧迫的问题是暗物质（DarkMatter，DM）的身份，而这个问题迄今为止还没有得到任何肯定的答案。原始黑洞（PBHs）是动机最充分的暗物质候选者之一。由于没有探测到霍金辐射本身，或者没有观测到这种辐射对天体物理和宇宙学观测指标的任何可测量的影响，足够轻的原始黑洞一直受到限制。我们通过霍金辐射对银河系间介质（IGM）温度演化的影响来约束 PBH 密度。我们使用了从莱曼-$alpha$森林观测中对IGM温度的最新推导。我们分别对自旋和非自旋BH的质量为5乘以10^{15}$ g - 10^{17}$ g的PBH DM的比例进行了约束。我们通过两种方式来处理IGM的天体物理再电离的加热效应，从而得出约束条件。一种方法是，我们完全忽略天体物理源引起的加热效应，从而得到较弱的约束条件，但对宇宙的电离历史具有完全的稳健性。第二种方法是，我们利用电离和温度历史的一些模型，并利用它得出更严格的约束条件。我们发现，对于质量为10^{16}$ g的非自旋PBH，目前的测量结果可以将PBH密度约束为DM总量的0.1%。我们发现，这些来自最新莱曼-$α-森林温度测量的约束是有竞争力的，从而为探测PBH DM的性质提供了一个新的观测指标。影响莱曼-阿尔法森林测量的系统性与其他约束观测结果不同，因此这是一个补充性的探测结果。

Super-Kamiokande's spallation backgrounds - the delayed beta decays of nuclides following cosmic-ray muons - are nearly all produced by the small fraction of muons with hadronic showers. We show that these hadronic showers also produce neutrons; their captures can be detected with high efficiency due to the recent addition of dissolved gadolinium to Super-Kamiokande. We show that new cuts based on the neutron tagging of showers could reduce spallation backgrounds by a factor of at least four beyond present cuts. With further work, this could lead to a near-elimination of detector backgrounds above about 6 MeV, which would significantly improve the sensitivity of Super-Kamiokande. These findings heighten the importance of adding gadolinium to Hyper-Kamiokande, which is at a shallower depth. Further, a similar approach could be used in other detectors, for example, the JUNO liquid-scintillator detector, which is also at a shallower depth.

We report on our ongoing lattice QCD computation of antistatic-antistatic potentials in the presence of two light quarks using the CLS $N_f=2$ gauge configurations and the OpenQ*D codebase. We utilize a set of 16 creation operators, corresponding to 8 sectors characterized by angular momentum and parity quantum numbers for light quarks $qq = (ud - du) / sqrt{2}$ (isospin $0$), $qq in { uu , (ud + du) / sqrt{2}, dd }$ (isospin $1$) and $qq in { us , ds }$ (isospin $1/2$ and strangeness $-1$). We improve on previous work by considering a large number of off-axis separations of the static antiquarks and by using tree-level improvement. The resulting potentials provide vague indication for one-pion exchange at $bar Q bar Q$ separations $r gtrapprox$ 0.5 fm.

For the present work, we have used the HYDJET++ model to explore the production of pure multi-strange hadrons in Pb+Pb collisions at $sqrt{s_{NN}}$= 2.76 TeV and $sqrt{s_{NN}}$= 5.02 TeV collision energies, respectively. We have simulated the $p_{T}$-spectra and elliptic flow ($v_{2}$) of $phi$-meson and $Omega$-baryons comparing our results with ALICE experimental data and several phenomenological models (HIJING/$Boverline{B}$, VISHNU, EPOS, AMPT, and Krakow) across various centrality intervals. Additionally, we have calculated the nuclear modification factors ($R_{AA}$ and $R_{CP}$), which provide a perception of jet quenching phenomena. Hence, our findings enable the study of the energy and system dependence of $phi$ and $Omega$ hadrons production over a wide range of ultra-relativistic collision energies. We also present the particle ratios ($Omega/phi$, $overline{Omega}^{+}/Omega^{-}$, $Omega/pi$, and $phi/pi$), offering insights on the strangeness enhancement and chemical properties of the medium at both LHC collision energies.

The resonant conversion of cosmic microwave background (CMB) photons into axions within large-scale structure induces an anisotropic spectral distortion in CMB temperature maps. Applying state-of-the-art foreground cleaning techniques to $textit{Planck}$ CMB observations, we construct maps of axion-induced "patchy screening" of the CMB. We cross-correlate these maps with data from the $textit{unWISE}$ galaxy survey and find no evidence of axions. We constrain the axion-photon coupling, $g_{agammagamma} lesssim 2 times 10^{-12}~{rm GeV}^{-1}$, at the 95% confidence level for axion masses in the range $10^{-13}~{rm eV} lesssim m_a lesssim 10^{-12}~{rm eV}$. These constraints are competitive with the tightest astrophysical axion limits in this mass range and are inferred from robust population-level statistics, which makes them complementary to existing searches that rely on modeling of individual systems.

These\u0000constraints are competitive with the tightest astrophysical axion limits in\u0000this mass range and are inferred from robust population-level statistics, which\u0000makes them complementary to existing searches that rely on modeling of\u0000individual systems.","PeriodicalId":501067,"journal":{"name":"arXiv - PHYS - High Energy Physics - Phenomenology","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-09-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142258926","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
