Enhanced Production of Baryons in High-Multiplicity Collisions at
The production rate of baryons relative to mesons in collisions at a center-of-mass energy TeV is measured by the LHCb experiment. The ratio of to production cross-sections shows a significant dependence on both the transverse momentum and the measured charged-particle multiplicity. At low multiplicity, the ratio measured at LHCb is consistent with the value measured in collisions, and increases by a factor of with increasing multiplicity. At relatively low transverse momentum, the ratio of to cross-sections is higher than what is measured in collisions, but converges with the ratio as the momentum increases. These results imply that the evolution of heavy quarks into final-state hadrons is influenced by the density of the hadronic environment produced in the collision. Comparisons with a statistical hadronization model and implications for the mechanisms enforcing quark confinement are discussed.

Production of and mesons in and collisions
The production of η and η′ mesons is studied in proton-proton and proton-lead collisions collected with the LHCb detector. Proton-proton collisions are studied at center-of-mass energies of 5.02 and 13 TeV and proton-lead collisions are studied at a center-of-mass energy per nucleon of 8.16 TeV. The studies are performed in center-of-mass (cm) rapidity regions 2.5< y c. m.< 3.5 (forward rapidity) and− 4.0< y c. m.<− 3.0 (backward rapidity) defined relative to the proton beam direction. The η and η′ production cross sections are measured differentially as a function of transverse momentum for 1.5< p T< 10 GeV and 3< p T< 10 GeV, respectively. The differential cross sections are used to calculate nuclear modification factors. The nuclear modification factors for η and η′ mesons agree at both forward and backward rapidity, showing no significant evidence of mass dependence. The differential cross sections of η …

A model-independent measurement of the CKM angle γ in partially reconstructed B± → D*h± decays with D → h+h− (h = π, K)
A measurement of CP-violating observables in B±→ D* K±and B±→ D* π±decays is made where the photon or neutral pion from the D*→ Dγ or D*→ Dπ 0 decay is not reconstructed. The D meson is reconstructed in the self-conjugate decay modes, D→ π+ π− or D→ K+ K−. The distribution of signal yields in the D decay phase space is analysed in a model-independent way. The measurement uses a data sample collected in proton-proton collisions at centre-of-mass energies of 7, 8, and 13 TeV, corresponding to a total integrated luminosity of approximately 9 fb− 1. The B±→ D* K±and B±→ D* π±CP-violating observables are interpreted in terms of hadronic parameters and the CKM angle γ, resulting in a measurement of γ=(). The total uncertainty includes the statistical and systematic uncertainties, and the uncertainty due to external strong-phase inputs.

Measurement of CP Violation in B0→ ψ (→ l+ l−) KS0 (→ π+ π−) Decays
A measurement of time-dependent CP violation in the decays of B 0 and B 0 mesons to the final states J/ψ (→ μ+ μ−) K S 0, ψ (2S)(→ μ+ μ−) K S 0 and J/ψ (→ e+ e−) K S 0 with K S 0→ π+ π− is presented. The data correspond to an integrated luminosity of 6 fb− 1 collected at a center-of-mass energy of√ s= 13 TeV with the LHCb detector. The CP-violation parameters are measured to be S ψK S 0= 0.717±0.013 (stat)±0.008 (syst) and C ψK S 0= 0.008±0.012 (stat)±0.003 (syst). This measurement of S ψK S 0 represents the most precise single measurement of the CKM angle β to date and is more precise than the current world average. In addition, measurements of the CP-violation parameters of the individual channels are reported and a combination with the LHCb Run 1 measurements is performed.

Search for a muonphilic scalar or vector via decays at BESIII
A light scalar X 0 or vector X 1 particles have been introduced as a possible explanation for the (g− 2) μ anomaly and dark matter phenomena. Using (8.998±0.039)× 10 9 J/ψ events collected by the BESIII detector, we search for a light muon philic scalar X 0 or vector X 1 in the processes J/ψ→ μ+ μ− X 0, 1 with X 0, 1 invisible decays. No obvious signal is found, and the upper limits on the coupling g 0, 1′ between the muon and the X 0, 1 particles are set to be between 1.1× 10− 3 and 1.0× 10− 2 for the X 0, 1 mass in the range of 1< M (X 0, 1)< 1000 MeV/c 2 at 90% credibility level.

Hadrons are systems of quarks bound by the strong interaction, described at the fundamental level by quantum chromodynamics (QCD). The production and decay of hadrons involve the nonperturbative regime of QCD, making calculations challenging.

Improved Measurement of Violation Parameters in Decays in the Vicinity of the Resonance
The decay-time-dependent C P asymmetry in B s 0→ J/ψ (→ μ+ μ−) K+ K− decays is measured using proton-proton collision data, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 6 fb− 1, collected with the LHCb detector at a center-of-mass energy of 13 TeV. Using a sample of approximately 349 000 B s 0 signal decays with an invariant K+ K− mass in the vicinity of the ϕ (1020) resonance, the C P-violating phase ϕ s is measured, along with the difference in decay widths of the light and heavy mass eigenstates of the B s 0− Bs 0 system, Δ Γ s, and the difference of the average B s 0 and B 0 meson decay widths, Γ s− Γ d. The values obtained are ϕ s=− 0.039±0.022±0.006 rad, Δ Γ s= 0.0845±0.0044±0.0024 ps− 1, and Γ s− Γ d=− 0.05 6− 0.0015+ 0.0013±0.0014 ps− 1, where the first uncertainty is statistical and the second systematic.

Prompt and nonprompt ψ(2S) production in pPb collisions at = 8.16 TeV
The production of ψ (2S) mesons in proton-lead collisions at a centre-of-mass energy per nucleon pair of= 8. 16 TeV is studied with the LHCb detector using data corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 34 nb− 1. The prompt and nonprompt ψ (2S) production cross-sections and the ratio of the ψ (2S) to J/ψ cross-section are measured as a function of the meson transverse momentum and rapidity in the nucleon-nucleon centre-of-mass frame, together with forward-to-backward ratios and nuclear modification factors. The production of prompt ψ (2S) is observed to be more suppressed compared to pp collisions than the prompt J/ψ production, while the nonprompt productions have similar suppression factors.

Modification of (3872) and (2) production in Pb collisions at TeV
The LHCb collaboration measures production of the exotic hadron (3872) in proton-nucleus collisions for the first time. Comparison with the charmonium state (2) suggests that the exotic (3872) experiences different dynamics in the nuclear medium than conventional hadrons, and comparison with data from proton-proton collisions indicates that the presence of the nucleus may modify (3872) production rates. This is the first measurement of the nuclear modification factor of an exotic hadron.

The four decays, , are observed for the first time using proton-proton collision data collected with the LHCb detector at a centre-of-mass energy of , corresponding to an integrated luminosity of . By considering the decay as reference channel, the following branching fraction ratios are measured to be, $$\frac{\cal{B} (\Lambda_{b}^{0} \rightarrow \Sigma_{c}^{++} \rm{D}^{-} {K}^{-})}{\cal{B}(\Lambda_{b}^{0} \rightarrow \Lambda_c^{+} \rm \overline{D}^0 {K}^{-})} = {0.282}\pm{0.016}\pm{0.016}\pm{0.005}, \frac{\cal{B}(\Lambda_{b}^{0} \rightarrow \Sigma_{c}^{*++} \rm {D}^{-} {K}^{-})}{\cal{B}(\Lambda_{b}^{0} \rightarrow \Sigma_c^{++} \rm {D}^{-} {K}^{-})} = {0.460}\pm{0.052}\pm{0.028}, \frac{\cal{B}(\Lambda_{b}^{0} \rightarrow \Sigma_{c}^{++} \rm {D}^{*-} {K}^{-})}{\cal{B}(\Lambda_{b}^{0} \rightarrow \Sigma_c^{++} \rm {D}^{-} {K}^{-})} = {2.261}\pm{0.202}\pm{0.129}\pm{0.046}, \frac{\cal{B}(\Lambda_{b}^{0} \rightarrow \Sigma_{c}^{*++} \rm D^{*-} K^{-})}{\cal{B}(\Lambda_{b}^{0} \rightarrow \Sigma_c^{++} \rm D^{-} K^{-})} = {0.896}\pm{0.137}\pm{0.066}\pm{0.018},$$ where the first uncertainties are statistical, the second are systematic, and the third are due to uncertainties in the branching fractions of intermediate particle decays.

Study of the doubly Cabibbo-suppressed decays and
Based on 7.33 fb− 1 of e+ e− collision data collected at center-of-mass energies between 4.128 and 4.226 GeV with the BESIII detector, the experimental studies of the doubly Cabibbo-suppressed decays D s+→ K+ K+ π− and D s+→ K+ K+ π− π 0 are reported. We determine the absolute branching fraction of D s+→ K+ K+ π− to be (1.2 4− 0.26+ 0.28 (stat)±0.06 (syst))× 10− 4. No significant signal of D s+→ K+ K+ π− π 0 is observed and the upper limit on its decay branching fraction at 90% confidence level is set to be 1.7× 10− 4.

Hadronic vacuum polarization: comparing lattice QCD and data-driven results in systematically improvable ways
The precision with which hadronic vacuum polarization (HVP) is obtained determines how accurately important observables, such as the muon anomalous magnetic moment a μ or the low-energy running of the electromagnetic coupling α, are predicted. The two most precise approaches for determining HVP are dispersive relations combined with e+ e−→ hadrons cross section data and lattice QCD. However, the results obtained in these two approaches display significant tensions, whose origins are not understood. Here we present a framework that sheds light on this issue and—if the two approaches can be reconciled—allows them to be combined. Via this framework, we test the hypothesis that the tensions can be explained by modifying the R-ratio in different intervals of center-of-mass energy s. As ingredients, we consider observables that have been precisely determined in both approaches. These are the …

Search for quantum black hole production in lepton+ jet final states using proton-proton collisions at s= 13 TeV with the ATLAS detector
A search for quantum black holes in electron+ jet and muon+ jet invariant mass spectra is performed with 140 fb− 1 of data collected by the ATLAS detector in proton-proton collisions at s= 13 TeV at the Large Hadron Collider. The observed invariant mass spectrum of lepton+ jet pairs is consistent with Standard Model expectations. Upper limits are set at 95% confidence level on the production cross section times branching fractions for quantum black holes decaying into a lepton and a quark in a search region with invariant mass above 2.0 TeV. The resulting quantum black hole lower mass threshold limit is 9.2 TeV in the Arkani-Hamed-Dimopoulos-Dvali model, and 6.8 TeV in the Randall-Sundrum model.

Charged particles in the background of the Kiselev solution in power-Maxwell electrodynamics
In this work we analyze the motion of charged particles in the background of the Kiselev geometry, which is considered here as an exact solution in the context of power-Maxwell electrodynamics. As it is well known, one can use either an electric ansatz or a magnetic one for the nonlinear electromagnetic field. We study the motion of an electrically charged particle for an electrically charged black hole and also for a magnetically charged black hole. In the second case the motion is restricted to Poincaré cones of various angles, as expected.

Analog vacuum decay from vacuum initial conditions
Ultracold atomic gases can undergo phase transitions that mimic relativistic vacuum decay, allowing us to empirically test early Universe physics in tabletop experiments. We investigate the physics of these analog systems, going beyond previous analyses of the classical equations of motion to study quantum fluctuations in the cold-atom false vacuum. We show that the fluctuation spectrum of this vacuum state agrees with the usual relativistic result in the regime where the classical analogy holds, providing further evidence for the suitability of these systems for studying vacuum decay. Using a suite of semiclassical lattice simulations, we simulate bubble nucleation from this analog vacuum state in a 1D homonuclear potassium-41 mixture, finding qualitative agreement with instanton predictions. We identify realistic parameters for this system that will allow us to study vacuum decay with current experimental …

Deep learning insights into cosmological structure formation
The evolution of linear initial conditions present in the early Universe into extended halos of dark matter at late times can be computed using cosmological simulations. However, a theoretical understanding of this complex process remains elusive; in particular, the role of anisotropic information in the initial conditions in establishing the final mass of dark matter halos remains a long-standing puzzle. Here, we build a deep learning framework to investigate this question. We train a three-dimensional convolutional neural network to predict the mass of dark matter halos from the initial conditions, and quantify in full generality the amounts of information in the isotropic and anisotropic aspects of the initial density field about final halo masses. We find that anisotropies add a small, albeit statistically significant amount of information over that contained within spherical averages of the density field about final halo mass …

Constraints for the X17 boson from compact objects observations
We investigate the hypothetical X17 boson on neutron stars and quark stars (QSs) using various hadronic equation of states (EoSs) with phenomenological or microscopic origin. Our aim is to set realistic constraints on its coupling constant and the mass scaling, with respect to causality and various possible upper mass limits and the dimensionless tidal deformability Λ 1.4. In particular, we pay special attention to two main phenomenological parameters of the X17, one is related to the coupling constant g that it has with hadrons or quarks and the other with the in-medium effects through regulator C. Both are very crucial concerning the contribution on the total energy density and pressure. In the case of considering the X17 as a carrier of nuclear force in relativistic mean field theory, an admixture into the vector boson segment was constrained by 20% and 30%. In our investigation, we came to the general conclusion …

Hybrid stars in light of the HESS J1731-347 remnant and the PREX-II experiment
The recent analysis on the central compact object in the HESS J1731-347 remnant suggests interestingly small values for its mass and radius. Such an observation favors soft nuclear models that may be challenged by the observation of massive compact stars. In contrast, the recent PREX-II experiment, concerning the neutron skin thickness of Pb 208, points toward stiff equations of state that favor larger compact star radii. In the present study, we aim to explore the compatibility between stiff hadronic equations of state (favored by PREX-II) and the HESS J1731-347 remnant in the context of hybrid stars. For the construction of hybrid equations of state we use three widely employed Skyrme models combined with the well-known vector MIT bag model. Furthermore we consider two different scenarios concerning the energy density of the bag. In the first case, that of a constant bag parameter, we find that the resulting …

GWTC-2.1: Deep extended catalog of compact binary coalescences observed by LIGO and Virgo during the first half of the third observing run
The second Gravitational-Wave Transient Catalog, GWTC-2, reported on 39 compact binary coalescences observed by the Advanced LIGO and Advanced Virgo detectors between 1 April 2019 15∶ 00 UTC and 1 October 2019 15∶ 00 UTC. Here, we present GWTC-2.1, which reports on a deeper list of candidate events observed over the same period. We analyze the final version of the strain data over this period with improved calibration and better subtraction of excess noise, which has been publicly released. We employ three matched-filter search pipelines for candidate identification, and estimate the probability of astrophysical origin for each candidate event. While GWTC-2 used a false alarm rate threshold of 2 per year, we include in GWTC-2.1, 1201 candidates that pass a false alarm rate threshold of 2 per day. We calculate the source properties of a subset of 44 high-significance candidates that have a …

Post-Newtonian gravitational waves with cosmological constant from the Einstein-Hilbert theory
We study the compact binary dynamics in the post-Newtonian approach implemented to the Einstein-Hilbert action adding the cosmological constant Λ at first post-Newtonian (1PN) order. We consider very small values of Λ finding that it plays the role of a PN factor to derive the Lagrangian of a compact two-body system at the center of mass frame at 1PN. Furthermore, the phase function ϕ (t) is obtained from the balance equation, and the two polarizations h+ and h× are also calculated. We observe changes due to Λ only at very low frequencies, and we notice that it plays the role of “stretch” the spacetime such that both amplitudes become smaller. However, given its nearly negligible value, Λ has no relevance at higher frequencies whatsoever.

Long-lived particles and the quiet Sun
The nuclear reaction network within the interior of the Sun is an efficient MeV physics factory and can produce long-lived particles generic to dark sector models. In this work we consider the sensitivity of satellite instruments, primarily the RHESSI spectrometer, that observe the quiet Sun in the MeV regime where backgrounds are low. We find that quiet Sun observations offer a powerful and complementary probe in regions of parameter space, where the long-lived particle decay length is longer than the radius of the Sun and shorter than the distance between the Sun and Earth. We comment on connections to recent model-building work on heavy neutral leptons coupled to neutrinos and high-quality axions from mirror symmetries.

Within the framework of relative and absolute quantum field theories (QFTs), we present a general formalism for understanding polarizations of the intermediate defect group and constructing noninvertible duality defects in theories in 2 k spacetime dimensions with self-dual gauge fields. We introduce the polarization pair, which fully specifies absolute QFTs as far as their (k− 1)-form defect groups are concerned, including their (k− 1)-form symmetries, global structures (including discrete θ-angle), and local counterterms. Using the associated symmetry topological field theory (TFT), we show that the polarization pair is capable of succinctly describing topological manipulations, eg, gauging (k− 1)-form global symmetries and stacking counterterms, of absolute QFTs. Furthermore, automorphisms of the (k− 1)-form charge lattice naturally act on polarization pairs via their action on the defect group; they can be viewed as …

Measurement of the fraction of jet longitudinal momentum carried by baryons in collisions
Recent measurements of charm-baryon production in hadronic collisions have questioned the universality of charm-quark fragmentation across different collision systems. In this work the fragmentation of charm quarks into charm baryons is probed, by presenting the first measurement of the longitudinal jet momentum fraction carried by Λ c+ baryons, z∥ ch, in hadronic collisions. The results are obtained in proton-proton (p p) collisions at s= 13 TeV at the LHC, with Λ c+ baryons and charged (track-based) jets reconstructed in the transverse momentum intervals of 3≤ p T Λ c+< 15 GeV/c and 7≤ p T jet ch< 15 GeV/c, respectively. The z∥ ch distribution is compared to a measurement of D 0-tagged charged jets in p p collisions as well as to pythia 8 simulations. The data hints that the fragmentation of charm quarks into charm baryons is softer with respect to charm mesons, in the measured kinematic interval, as …

GWTC-2.1: Deep extended catalog of compact binary coalescences observed by LIGO and Virgo during the first half of the third observing run
The second Gravitational-Wave Transient Catalog, GWTC-2, reported on 39 compact binary coalescences observed by the Advanced LIGO and Advanced Virgo detectors between 1 April 2019 15∶ 00 UTC and 1 October 2019 15∶ 00 UTC. Here, we present GWTC-2.1, which reports on a deeper list of candidate events observed over the same period. We analyze the final version of the strain data over this period with improved calibration and better subtraction of excess noise, which has been publicly released. We employ three matched-filter search pipelines for candidate identification, and estimate the probability of astrophysical origin for each candidate event. While GWTC-2 used a false alarm rate threshold of 2 per year, we include in GWTC-2.1, 1201 candidates that pass a false alarm rate threshold of 2 per day. We calculate the source properties of a subset of 44 high-significance candidates that have a …

Search for quantum black hole production in lepton+ jet final states using proton-proton collisions at s= 13 TeV with the ATLAS detector
A search for quantum black holes in electron+ jet and muon+ jet invariant mass spectra is performed with 140 fb− 1 of data collected by the ATLAS detector in proton-proton collisions at s= 13 TeV at the Large Hadron Collider. The observed invariant mass spectrum of lepton+ jet pairs is consistent with Standard Model expectations. Upper limits are set at 95% confidence level on the production cross section times branching fractions for quantum black holes decaying into a lepton and a quark in a search region with invariant mass above 2.0 TeV. The resulting quantum black hole lower mass threshold limit is 9.2 TeV in the Arkani-Hamed-Dimopoulos-Dvali model, and 6.8 TeV in the Randall-Sundrum model.

Atacama Cosmology Telescope: The persistence of neutrino self-interaction in cosmological measurements
We use data from the Atacama Cosmology Telescope (ACT) DR4 to search for the presence of neutrino self-interaction in the cosmic microwave background. Consistent with prior works, the posterior distributions we find are bimodal, with one mode consistent with Λ CDM and one where neutrinos strongly self-interact. By combining ACT data with large-scale information from WMAP, we find that a delayed onset of neutrino free streaming caused by significantly strong neutrino self-interaction is compatible with these data at the 2− 3 σ level. As seen in the past, the preference shifts to Λ CDM with the inclusion of Planck data. We determine that the preference for strong neutrino self-interaction is largely driven by angular scales corresponding to 700≲ ℓ≲ 1000 in the ACT E-mode polarization data. This region is expected to be key to discriminate between neutrino self-interacting modes and will soon be probed with …

Supersymmetric QCD on the lattice: Fine-tuning of the Yukawa couplings
We determine the fine-tuning of the Yukawa couplings of supersymmetric QCD, discretized on a lattice. We use perturbation theory at one-loop level. The modified minimal subtraction scheme (MS) is employed; by its definition, this scheme requires perturbative calculations, in the continuum and/or on the lattice. On the lattice, we utilize the Wilson formulation for gluon, quark, and gluino fields; for squark fields we use naive discretization. The sheer difficulties of this study lie in the fact that different components of squark fields mix among themselves at the quantum level and the action’s symmetries, such as parity and charge conjugation, allow an additional Yukawa coupling. Consequently, for an appropriate fine-tuning of the Yukawa terms, these mixings must be taken into account in the renormalization conditions. All Green’s functions and renormalization factors are analytic expressions depending on the number of …
