Inferring the covariant $\Theta$-exact noncommutative coupling in the top quark pair production at linear colliders

Abstract

A novel non-minimal interaction of neutral right-handed fermion and abelian gauge field in the covariant $\Theta$-exact noncommutative standard model (NCSM) which is invariant under Very Special Relativity (VSR) Lorentz subgroup, opens an avenue to study the top quark pair production at linear colliders. Here the coupling denoted as $\kappa$ and the noncommutative (NC) scale $\Lambda$. In this work, we consider two types of analysis, one is without considering helicity basis and another, considering helicity states of the polarized and unpolarized initial and final particles. In the first case, when $\kappa$ is positive and for certain values of $\Lambda$, we arrived a specific threshold value of machine energy (units of GeV) $\sqrt{s_0}$ ($ \simeq 2.52 ~\Lambda + 39$ ) may be quite useful to probe NCSM with the unpolarized beam. The statistical $\chi^2$ analysis of the azimuthal anisotropy is quite possible when $\kappa$ takes negative value $0 >\kappa> -0.596$ which persuade a lower limit on NC scale $\Lambda$ ($ 1.0\, \text{to} \, 2.4\,\text{TeV}$) at $\kappa_{max}=-0.296 (95\%$ C.L) according to luminosity ranging from $100\,fb^{-1} \text{to}1000\,fb^{-1}$ at machine energy $\sqrt{s}=1.4\,\text{TeV}\,\text{and}\, 3.0\,\text{TeV}$. In another case, we performed polarized beam analysis to probe NCSM in the light of following observables azimuthal anisotropy, helicity correlation, and top quark helicity left-right asymmetry. The polarization of the initial beam $\{ P_{e^{-}},P_{e^{+}}\} = \{-0.8,0.3\}( \{-0.8,0.6\})$ enhances the ranges of lower limit on $\Lambda$, $i.e.\, 1.13 \, \text{to} \, 2.80\,\text{TeV}$ at $\kappa_{max}$ alongside the $\kappa_{max}$ enhanced into $-0.5445 \,(-0.607)$ $95\%$C.L accord with luminosity and $\sqrt{s}$. Finally, we studied the intriguing mixing of the UV and the IR by invoking $T(2)$ VSR Lorentz subgroup symmetry on NC tensor $\Theta_{\mu\nu}$.

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.
