Abstract

Analytical solutions of the S-and P-wave subsystem in pi(-)p->pi(-)pi(+)n and pi(+)p->pi(+)pi(-)p measured on polarized targets at CERN reveal evidence for rho^0(770)-f_0(980) spin mixing. We study the response of these analytical solutions to the presence of small D-wave amplitudes with helicity 0,1 (Response analysis A) and helicity 0,1,2 (Response analysis B) which contaminate the input data. In both Response analyses the rho^0(770)-f_0(980) spin mixing effect is clearly consistent with the presence of the D-wave amplitudes provided they are not too large below 750 MeV. We also show that the mixing is consistent with the isospin relations for the S-wave intensities measured in pi(-)p->pi(-)pi(+)n, pi(-)p->pi(0)pi(0)n and pi(+)p->pi(+)pi(+)n processes. These results strengthen the experimental evidence for the rho^0(770)-f_0(980) spin mixing in pi(-)p->pi(-)pi(+)n found in the analytical solutions and are in agreement with recent theoretical expectations. We present a survey of moduli of the S-wave amplitudes and S-wave intensities from all amplitude analyses of the five measurements of pi(-)p->pi(-)pi(+)n and pi(+)n->pi(+)pi(-)p on polarized targets. All analyses are in a remarkable agreement that shows a clear evidence for a resonant structure at rho^0(770) mass in the S-wave moduli and intensities in a broad confirmation of the rho^0(770)-f_0(980) spin mixing. We comment on our recent elastic and joint pipi phase-shift analyses of the CERN pi(-)pi(+) and E852 pi(0)pi(0) data and their agreement with the 1997 and 2002 Cracow Solutions, respectively. Our key observation is that all these solutions for the phase shift delta^0_S are consistent with the evidence for rho^0(770)-f_0(980) mixing documented by our survey.

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.
