Abstract

We have proposed a method for the detection of dark matter axion. It uses superconductor under strong magnetic field. As is well known, the dark matter axion induces oscillating electric field under magnetic field. The electric field is proportional to the magnetic field and makes charged particles oscillate in conductors. Then, radiations of electromagnetic fields are produced. Radiation flux depends on how large the electric field is induced and how large the number of charged particles is present in the conductors. We show that the electric field in superconductor is essentially identical to the one induced in vacuum. It is proportional to the magnetic field. It is only present in the surface because of Meissner effect. On the other hand, although the magnetic field can penetrates the normal conductor, the oscillating electric field is only present in the surface of the conductor because of the skin effect. The strength of the electric field induced in the surface is equal to the one in vacuum. We obtain the electric field in the superconductor by solving equations of electromagnetic fields coupled with axion and Cooper pair described by Ginzburg-Landau model. The electric field in the normal conductor is obtained by solving equations of electromagnetic fields in the conductor coupled with axion. We compare radiation flux from the cylindrical superconductor with that from the normal conductor with same size. We find that the radiation flux from the superconductor is a hundred times larger than the flux from the normal conductor. We also show that when we use superconducting resonant cavity, we obtain radiation energy generated in the cavity two times of the order of the magnitude larger than that in normal conducting resonant cavity.

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.
