Open Charm Mesons and Charmonium states in Magnetized Strange Hadronic Medium at Finite Temperature

Abstract

We investigate the masses of the pseudoscalar ($D$($D^0$, $D^+$), $\bar{D}$($\bar{D^0}$, $D^-$) and vector open charm mesons ($D^*$($D^{*0}$, $D^{*+}$), ${\bar{D}}^*$(${\bar{D}}^{*0}$, $D^{*-}$) as well as the pseudoscalar ($\eta_c(1S)$, $\eta_c(2S)$) and the vector charmonium states ($J/\psi$, $\psi(2S)$, $\psi(1D)$) in the asymmetric hot strange hadronic medium in the presence of strong magnetic fields. In the magnetized medium, the mass modification of open charm mesons due to their interactions with baryons and the scalar fields ($\sigma$, $\zeta$, and $\delta$) are investigated in a chiral effective model. Moreover, the charged pseudoscalar meson ($D^\pm$), as well as the longitudinal component of charged vector meson ($D^{*\pm \parallel}$), experience additional positive mass modifications in the magnetic field due to Landau quantization. The effect of the modification of gluon condensates simulated by the medium change of dilaton field $\chi$ on the masses of the charmonia is also calculated in the chiral effective model. At high temperatures, the magnetically induced modifications of scalar fields significantly reduce the in-medium masses of mesons. The effects of magnetically induced spin mixing between the pseudoscalar and the vector mesons are incorporated in our study. The spin mixing result in a positive mass shift for the longitudinal component of the vector mesons and a negative mass shift for the pseudoscalar mesons in the presence of the magnetic field. From the obtained in-medium mass shifts of charmonia and open charm mesons, we have also calculated the partial decay widths of $\psi(1D)$ to $D\bar{D}$, using a light quark pair creation model, namely the $^3P_0$ model. Spin mixing and strangeness fraction enhance the partial decay width at small magnetic fields.

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.
