Gluino-SUGRA scenarios in light of FNAL muon g-2 anomaly

Abstract

Gluino-SUGRA ($\tilde{g}$SUGRA), which is an economical extension of the predictive mSUGRA, adopts much heavier gluino mass parameter than other gauginos mass parameters and universal scalar mass parameter at the unification scale. It can elegantly reconcile the experimental results on the Higgs boson mass, the muon $g-2$, the null results in search for supersymmetry at the LHC and the results from B-physics. In this work, we propose several new ways to generate large gaugino hierarchy (i.e. $M_3\gg M_1,M_2$) for $\tilde{g}$SUGRA model building and then discuss in detail the implications of the new muon $g-2$ results with the updated LHC constraints on such $\tilde{g}$SUGRA scenarios. We obtain the following observations: (i) For the most interesting $M_1=M_2$ case at the GUT scale with a viable bino-like dark matter, the $\tilde{g}$SUGRA can explain the muon $g-2$ anomaly at $1\sigma$ level and be consistent with the updated LHC constraints for $6\leq M_3/M_1 \leq 9$ at the GUT scale; (ii) For $M_1:M_2=5:1$ at the GUT scale with wino-like dark matter, the $\tilde{g}$SUGRA model can explain the muon $g-2$ anomaly at $2\sigma$ level and be consistent with the updated LHC constraints for $3\leq M_3/M_1 \leq 3.2$ at the GUT scale; (iii) For $M_1:M_2=3:2$ at the GUT scale with mixed bino-wino dark matter, the $\tilde{g}$SUGRA model can explain the muon $g-2$ anomaly at $1\sigma$ level and be consistent with the updated LHC constraints for $6.9\leq M_3/M_1 \leq 7.5$ at the GUT scale. Although the choice of heavy gluino will always increase the FT involved, some of the $1\sigma/2\sigma$ survived points of $\Delta a_\mu^{combine}$ can still allow low EWFT of order several hundreds and be fairly natural. Constraints from (dimension-five operator induced) proton decay are also discussed.

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.
