A systematically study of thermal width of heavy quarkonia in a finite temperature magnetized background from holography

Abstract

By simulating the finite temperatures magnetized background in the RHIC and LHC energies, we systematically study the characteristics of thermal widths and potentials of heavy quarkonia. It is found that the magnetic field has less influence on the real potential, but has a significant influence on the imaginary potential, especially in the low deconfined temperature. Extracted from the effect of thermal worldsheet fluctuations about the classical configuration, the thermal width of $Υ(1s)$ in the finite temperature magnetized background is investigated. It is found that at the low deconfined temperature the magnetic field can generate a significant thermal fluctuation of the thermal width of $Υ(1s)$, but with the increase of temperature, the effect of magnetic field on the thermal width becomes less important, which means the effect of high temperature completely exceeds that of magnetic field and magnetic field become less important at high temperature. The thermal width decreases with the increasing rapidity at the finite temperature magnetized background. It is also observed that the effect of the magnetic field on the thermal width when dipole moving parallel to the magnetic field direction are larger than that moving perpendicular to the magnetic field direction, which implies that the magnetic field tends to enhance thermal fluctuation when dipole moving parallel to the direction of magnetic field. The thermal width of $Υ(1S)$ hardly changes with the increasing temperature when dipole moving perpendicular to the magnetic field. But when dipole moving parallel to the magnetic field, the thermal width at low temperature is obviously larger than that at high temperature.

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.
