Thanks to 2D and maybe even beyond: 115 GeV and 140 GeV almost Standard Model Higgs without problems

Abstract

I address: (1) dynamical, likely local Higgs mass generation as resolution to the 4D hierarchy and vacuum energy problems, (2) possibility that top condensation may be explained by an interplay among the gluon and scalar sectors, (3) the Higgs Mass Zero Crossing (HMZC) scale, most likely equal to Λ_EWSB, in accord with standard cosmology or classic inflation, and (4) two preferred Higgs regions centered at 116.5 GeV and 140.5 GeV with related high energy models. I show that SM in 2D could simultaneously satisfy (a) complete radiative generation of the Higgs mass via top loop and (b) cancelation of the remaining leading order corrections to the scalar propagator. The Higgs mass, m_H, parameterized with k=1 (2), in the leading order is 113.0{\pm}1.0 GeV (143.4{\pm}1.3 GeV). I show that the SM top condensation is consistent with the gluon and Higgs mediated top-anti top interactions at tree level. I predict the QCD fine structure constant with the mean value only 0.25% away from the world average value at {\sqrt}s=M_Z. The SM driven theory at energies larger than the HMZC scale necessary includes effective tachyonic Higgs (Popovic 2001). Here, I map the SM physical Higgs mass to the low energy HMZC scale (0.8-1.8 TeV). I show that the very "long lived" SM necessitates Higgs lighter than 146.5{\pm}2 GeV such that there is a single HMZC scale at energies smaller than the Planck mass. I present candidate m_H=138.1{\pm}1.8 GeV for the SM valid up to an energy scale, nearly equal Planck mass, obtained from a conjecture which minimizes the parameters of the Higgs potential. I introduce a class of models potentially exactly removing tachyons. I analyze Composite Particles Models (CPM) (Popovic 2002) where top quark is composite, composed of 3 fundamental fermions, and Higgs scalar is composite, composed of 2 fundamental fermions, with m_H=2/3 m_t=115.4{\pm}0.9 GeV.

Axionic Wormholes in Metric-Affine Gravity

The axion is a promising candidate for solving the strong CP problem. To solve this problem, the global U(1) symmetry must be preserved to a high degree of accuracy. However, it is well known that global symmetries are explicitly violated by quantum gravity effects, giving rise to what is referred to as the axion quality problem. In this paper, we investigate axionic wormholes as a source of explicit U(1) violation in Metric-Affine Gravity. This framework allows for spacetime torsion and non-metricity, which accommodate additional curvature-like and topological terms, such as the Holst and Nieh--Yan terms, that are absent from the metric and Palatini formalisms. We show that non-minimal couplings to these terms modify the wormhole dynamics and enhance the Euclidean wormhole action, thereby alleviating the axion quality problem. We also find that the viable parameter space is enlarged when two of these couplings are simultaneously present. We further identify representative parameter regions where the alleviation of the axion quality problem is compatible with inflationary constraints.

Qubit-Qutrit Quantum Tomography of hadronic $\Lambda\phi$ and $\Lambda K^{\ast 0}$ systems

Quantum-information observables have emerged in recent years as new tools in nuclear and particle physics, from entanglement in top-quark pairs to spin correlations in $\Lambda\bar{\Lambda}$ production. Extending these studies to unequal-spin hadronic final states poses a fundamental challenge: the $6\times6$ density matrix of a qubit-qutrit system contains 35 independent spin parameters, but the decays of $\Lambda V$ pairs, with $V=\phi$ or $K^{*0}$, provide access to only 23 due to the hidden vector polarization from the strong decay. In this Letter, we formulate a qubit-qutrit quantum tomography (QQQT) technique for these spin-$\tfrac{1}{2}\otimes1$ systems and establish exact criteria for entanglement certification from the \textit{incomplete} density matrix. Compared with the $\Lambda\bar{\Lambda}$ system, QQQT of $\Lambda\phi$ and $\Lambda K^{*0}$ provides a new probe of nonperturbative QCD hadronization, enabling a direct comparison of the spin evolution of entangled quark pairs produced from the vacuum as they hadronize into a baryon or a vector meson.

Twist decomposition of exclusive heavy meson production cross sections

We study the twist decomposition of the total cross sections for exclusive heavy vector meson electroproduction and photoproduction in the $\gamma^\ast p$ processes, within the leading logarithmic $1/x$ BFKL formalism. The Mellin transforms of the impact factors of the vector meson are calculated. We show that the higher twist contributions are strongly suppressed in the low-$x$ kinematical regime. Possible enhancement of the higher twists effects for nuclei targets is discussed.
