Charged Higgs contribution to $\bar{B}_s \rightarrow ϕπ^0 $ and $\bar{B}_s \rightarrow ϕρ^0 $

Abstract

We study the decay modes $\bar{B}_s\to ϕπ^0$ and $\bar{B}_s\to ϕρ^0$ within the frameworks of two-Higgs doublet models type-II and typ-III. We adopt in our study Soft Collinear Effective Theory as a framework for the calculation of the amplitudes. We derive the contributions of the charged Higgs mediation to the weak effective Hamiltonian governing the decay processes in both models. Moreover we analyze the effect of the charged Higgs mediation on the Wilson coefficients of the electrowek penguins and on the branching ratios of $\bar{B}_s\to ϕπ^0$ and $\bar{B}_s\to ϕρ^0$ decays. We show that wthin two-Higgs doublet models type-II and type-III the Wilson coefficients corresponding to the electroweak penguins can be enhanced due to the contributions from the charged Higgs mediation leading into enhancement in the branching ratios of $ \bar{B}_s\to ϕπ^0$ and $\bar{B}_s\to ϕρ^0 $ decays. We find that, within two-Higgs doublet models type-II, the enhancement in the branching ratio of $\bar{B}_s\to ϕπ^0$ can not exceed $18\%$ with respect to the SM predictions. For the branching ratio of $\bar{B}_s\to ϕρ^0$, we find that the charged Higgs contribution in this case is small where the branching ratio of $\bar{B}_s\to ϕρ^0$ can be enhanced or reduced by about $4\% $ with respect to the SM predictions. For the case of the two-Higgs doublet models type-III we show that the branching ratio of $\bar{B}_s\to ϕπ^0$ can be enhanced by about a factor $2$ of its value within two-Higgs doublet models type-II. However no sizable enhancement with respect to the SM predictions can be obtained for both $\bar{B}_s\to ϕπ^0$ and $\bar{B}_s\to ϕρ^0$ decays.

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.
