Abstract

In-medium masses of the pseudoscalar and vector open bottom mesons ($B$, $\bar{B}$, $B_s$ and $B^*$, $\bar{B}^*$, $B_s^*$) are studied in the magnetized nuclear matter by considering the effects of Dirac sea, within the chiral effective model. The mass modifications arise due to the interactions of the open bottom mesons with the nucleons and the scalar mesons, calculated in terms of the scalar and number densities of the nucleons and the scalar fields fluctuations. The effects of the magnetized Dirac sea lead to the considerable changes in the scalar fields with magnetic field, which are related to the light quark condensates. There is observed to be a (reduction) enhancement in the light quark condensates with magnetic field, a phenomenon called (inverse) magnetic catalysis.The contribution of the magnetic field on the Fermi sea of nucleons are taken into account through the Landau energy levels of protons and anomalous magnetic moments (AMMs) of the nucleons. The additional contribution of the lowest Landau level for the charged mesons are considered. The spin-magnetic field interaction between the longitudinal component of the vector and the pseudoscalar mesons ($B^{*||}(\bar{B}^{*||})-B (\bar{B}))$ and ($B_s^{*||}-B_s$) are studied, which lead to a level repulsion between their masses with magnetic field. Magnetic fields are observed to have significant contribution on the in-medium masses of the open bottom mesons through the Dirac sea effect as comparedto the case when this effect is not considered. In vacuum, considerable changes are obtained only due to the magnetized Dirac sea at zero and finite nucleonic AMMs.

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.
