New experimental data for the quarks mixing matrix are in better agreement with the spin-charge-family theory predictions

Abstract

The spin-charge-family theory predicts before the electroweak break four - rather than the observed three - massless families of quarks and leptons. The 4 x 4 mass matrices of all the family members demonstrate in this theory the same symmetry, which is determined by the scalar fields: the two SU(2) triplets (the gauge fields of the family groups) and the three singlets, the gauge fields of the three charges (Q, Q' and Y') distinguishing among family members. All the scalars have, with respect to the weak and the hyper charge, the quantum numbers of the {\it standard model} scalar Higgs: $\pm \frac{1}{2}$ and $ \mp \frac{1}{2}$, respectively. Respecting by the spin-charge-family theory proposed symmetry of mass matrices and assuming (due to not yet accurate enough experimental data) that the mass matrices are hermitian and real, we fit the six free parameters of each family member mass matrix to the experimental data of twice three measured masses of quarks and to the measured quark mixing matrix elements, within the experimental accuracy. Since any 3 x 3 submatrix of the 4 x 4 unitary matrix determines the whole 4 x 4 matrix uniquely, we are able to predict the properties of the fourth family members provided that the experimental data are enough accurate, which is not yet the case. We, however, found out that the new experimental data for quarks fit better to the required symmetry of mass matrices than the old data and we predict towards which value will more accurately measured matrix elements move. The present accuracy of the experimental data for leptons does not enable us to make sensible predictions.

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.
