The primordial neutrino asymmetry leave profound imprints on the evolution history of the universe, which can be constrained by cosmological observations, including Big Bang Nucleosynthesis (BBN), Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB), and Large-Scale Structure (LSS). We present comprehensive analysis on implications and constraints of the primordial neutrino asymmetry $xi_nu$, based on a precise treatment of neutrino decoupling by solving the complete (anti)neutrino quantum kinetic equations in the Closed-Time-Path formalism. The effective number of neutrinos $ N_{rm eff}$ and (anti)neutrino spectral distortions are calculated, and we find that the non-instantaneous decoupling correction is given by $delta N_{rm eff} = 0.0440 + 0.0102 , xi_nu^2$. Then we perform the state-of-the-art calculation for the abundance of light elements including (anti)neutrino spectral distortions, which indicate a positive asymmetry $0.032 leq xi_nu leq 0.052$ from EMPRESS data. The implications of the neutrino asymmetry for the CMB and LSS are studied in detail, and we find that the Baryon Acoustic Oscillations (BAO) are also significantly affected by $xi_nu$ in addition to the sum of neutrino masses. A combined analysis with EMPRESS BBN, Planck CMB and BOSS BAO data yields a tighter constraint $xi_nu = 0.024 pm 0.013$, which provides constraints on UV models capable of producing large asymmetries.

We study multi-component dark matter scenarios and the Galactic 511 keV $gamma$-ray emission line signal in the framework of a local, dark $U(1)_D$ extension of the Standard Model. A light vector dark matter particle associated with the dark $U(1)_D$ may decay and annihilate to electron-positron pairs. The produced positrons may in turn form positroniums that subsequently annihilate to two photons, accounting for the observed line signal of the Galactic 511 keV $gamma$-ray emission. Three scenarios are investigated. First, we consider the minimal $U(1)_D$ extension where a dark gauge boson and a dark Higgs boson are newly introduced to the particle content. As a second scenario, we consider WIMP-type dark matter with the introduction of an extra dark fermion which, in addition to the dark gauge boson, may contribute to the dark matter relic abundance. It is thus a multi-component dark matter scenario with a UV-complete dark $U(1)_D$ symmetry. In particular, the vector dark matter may account for a small fraction of the total dark matter relic abundance. Finally, we consider the scenario where the dark matter particles are of the FIMP-type. In this case, both the light vector and fermion dark matter particles may be produced via the freeze-in and super-WIMP mechanisms. Considering theoretical and observational constraints, we explore the allowed parameter space where the Galactic 511 keV $gamma$-ray line signal and the dark matter relic can both be explained. We also discuss possible observational signatures.

We study the phenomenology of the charged Higgs boson, $H^pm$,appearing in the fermionic dark matter model mediated by the dark $Z$ boson. This model is in favor of the light dark $Z$ boson, $Z'$, and the light additional neutral Higgs boson, $h$. We find that $H^pm to W^pm h$ and the $H^pm to W^pm Z'$ are dominant decay channels. Thus the promising final states are trilepton signals, $e mu mu$ or $mu mu mu$ following $Z' to mu^+ mu^-$ decays and leptonic decays of the $W^pm$ boson. The charged Higgs boson will be produced from the top quark decays $t to b H^pm$ following $t bar{t}$ production, if $H^pm$ is light. Whereas $H^pm$ is heavier than the top quark, the dominant production processes are associated productions with either $Z'$ or $h$, $pp to W^star to H^pm h$ and $pp to W^star to H^pm Z'$. We explore the discovery potential of the charged Higgs boson at the LHC. We also discuss the implications of dark matter in relation with the charged Higgs phenomenology.

Rare processes in laboratory and within astrophysical environments can be highly sensitive probes of baryon-number violating interactions at the TeV scale. We demonstrate the power of neutron stars to constrain baryon number violation by considering a minimal extension of the standard model involving a TeV-mass scalar mediator and a GeV scale Majorana fermion $psi$. We find that a $Delta B = 2$ mass-loss process in binary pulsar systems via $n to gamma psi$ and the subsequent scattering $psi n to pi^- K^+$ places stringent constraints on the model parameter space. These limits will become much stronger, due to the possibility of $Lambda rightarrow gamma psi$ decays at the tree level, if the neutron star equation of state is hyperonic. We compare these constraints with ongoing and future collider experiments, $n-bar{n}$ oscillations, and dinucleon decay searches at future large-scale neutrino experiments, finding that the binary pulsars bounds on couplings are significantly tighter for specific flavor combinations.
实验室和天体物理环境中的罕见过程可以成为TeV尺度重子数违反相互作用的高灵敏探测器。我们通过考虑标准模型的一个最小扩展（涉及一个TeV质量的标量中介和一个GeV尺度的马约拉纳费米子$psi$），证明了中子星在约束重子数违反方面的能力。我们发现，双脉冲星系统中通过 $n to gammapsi$ 和随后的散射 $psi n to pi^- K^+$ 的 $Delta B = 2$ 质量损失过程对模型参数空间施加了严格的限制。如果中子星的状态方程是超音速的，那么由于树级上可能存在$Lambda rightarrow gamma psi$衰变，这些限制就会变得更强。我们将这些约束与正在进行的和未来的对撞机实验、$n-bar{n}$振荡以及未来大规模中微子实验中的二核子衰变搜索进行了比较，发现双脉冲星的耦合约束在特定的味道组合中明显更紧。

Within the framework of symmetric teleparallel $fleft( Qright) $-gravity for a connection defined in the non-coincidence gauge we derive the Wheeler-DeWitt equation of quantum cosmology. Because the gravitational field equation in $fleft( Qright) $-gravity admits a minisuperspace description the Wheeler-DeWitt equation is a single inhomogeneous partial differential equations. We assume the power-law $fleft( Qright) =f_{0}Q^{mu}$ model and with the application of linear quantum observables we calculate the wavefunction of the universe. Finally, we investigate the effects of the quantum correction terms in the semi-classical limit.

The expected improvements in the precision of inflationary physics observables including the scalar spectral index $n_{s}$ and the tensor-to-scalar ratio $r$ will reveal more than just the viability of a particular model of inflation. In the presence of a curvaton field $chi$, supposedly dead models of inflation can be resurrected as these observables are affected by curvaton perturbations. For currently successful models, improved constraints will enable us to constrain the properties of extra decaying scalar degrees of freedom produced during inflation. In this work, we demonstrate these diverse uses of a curvaton field with the most recent constraints on ($n_{s},r$) and two exemplary inflation models, the Starobinsky model, and a model of new inflation. Our analysis invokes three free parameters: the curvaton mass $m_{chi}$, its decay rate $Gamma_{chi}$ the reheating temperature $T_{rm RH}$ produced by inflaton decays. We systematically analyze possible post-inflationary era scenarios of a curvaton field. By projecting the most recent CMB data on ($n_{s},r$) into this parameter space, we can either set constraints on the curvaton parameters from successful models of inflation (so that the success is not spoiled) or determine the parameters which are able to save a model for which $n_{s}$ is predicted to be below the experimental data. We emphasize that the initial value of $langle chi^2 rangle propto H^4/m_chi^2$ produced during inflation is determined from a stochastic approach and thus not a free parameter in our analysis. We also investigate the production of local non-Gaussianity $f_{NL}^{(rm loc)}$ and apply current CMB constraints to the parameter space. Intriguingly, we find that a large value of $f_{NL}^{(rm loc)}$ of $mathcal{O}(1)$ can be produced for both of the two representative inflation models.

While much supersymmetric WIMP parameter space has been ruled out, one remaining important candidate is Higgsino dark matter. The Higgsino can naturally realize the ``inelastic dark matter" scenario, where the scattering off a nucleus occurs between two nearly-degenerate states, making it invisible to WIMP direct detection experiments if the splitting is too large to be excited. It was realized that a ``luminous dark matter" detection process, where the Higgsino upscatters in the Earth and subsequently decays into a photon in a large neutrino detector, offers the best sensitivity to such a scenario. We consider the possibility of adding a large volume of a heavy element, such as Pb or U, around the detector. We also consider the presence of U and Th in the Earth itself, and the effect of an enhanced high-velocity tail of the dark matter distribution due to the presence of the Large Magellanic Cloud. These effects can significantly improve the sensitivity of detectors such as JUNO, SNO+, and Borexino, potentially making it possible in the future to cover much of the remaining parameter space for this classic SUSY WIMP dark matter.

Significant efforts have been made in recent years to measure the properties of charmed baryons. In this work, we study the $Xi_{c}'$ and $Omega_{c}$ baryons in the relativistic flux tube model with a quark-diquark picture of a baryon. The modified Regge relation between mass and angular momentum is used to predict the spin-average masses. The spin-dependent interactions are also included to compute the spin-dependent splitting. We calculate the masses of states belonging to the $1F$-wave and $1G$-wave of $Xi_{c}'$ and $Omega_{c}$ baryons, which are not yet detected experimentally. Our mass predictions can offer valuable insights to experimental facilities in their search to discover the higher excited states of $Xi_{c}'$ and $Omega_{c}$ baryons.

We propose a new channel to search for millicharged particles at the future Super Tau Charm Facility (STCF) via mono-$pi^0$ signature. For the first time, we compute the mono-$pi^0$ signal events at the future STCF due to millicharged particle production, as well as due to standard model irreducible/reducible backgrounds. By utilizing the assumed 20 ab$^{-1}$ luminosity for each running energy with $sqrt{s}= 2$ GeV, 4 GeV and 7 GeV, we derive the corresponding upper limits on millicharge, respectively. Via mono-$pi^0$ searches at the future STCF with $sqrt{s}=2$ GeV, the upper limits on millicharge can be improved than ArgoNeuT when the mass of millicharged particle is less than about 500 MeV, but are not very competitive compared to a latest derivation from a past BEBC experiment and a new SENSEI experiment. Regardless, the mono-$pi^0$ searches could be an important complement to investigate the invisible particles, such as dark matter.
