Abstract

We investigate the effect of repulsive interaction between hadrons on the susceptibilities of conserved charges, namely baryon number (B), electric charge (Q) and strangeness (S). We estimate second fourth and sixth-order susceptibilities of conserved charges, their differences, ratios, and correlations within the ambit of the mean-field hadron resonance gas (MFHRG) model. We consider repulsive mean-field interaction among meson pairs, baryon pairs and anti-baryon pairs separately and constrain them by confronting the results of various susceptibilities with the recent lattice QCD (LQCD) data. We find that the repulsive interactions between baryon-baryon pairs and antibaryon-antibaryon pairs are sufficient to describe the baryon susceptibilities of hadronic matter at temperatures below the QCD transition temperature. However, small but finite mesonic repulsive interaction is needed to describe electric charge and strangeness susceptibilities. We finally conclude that the repulsive interaction between hadrons plays a very important role in describing the thermodynamic properties of hadronic matter, especially near the quark-hadron phase transition temperature ($T_c$). The mean-field parameter for baryons ($K_B$) should be constrained in the range $0.40\le K_B\le 0.450$ $\text{GeV.fm}^{3}$ to get a good agreement of baryon susceptibilities with the LQCD results, whereas meson mean-field parameter $K_M\sim 0.05$ $\text{GeV.fm}^{3}$ must be included with $K_B$ to get a reasonable agreement of the MFHRG model with the LQCD results for electric charge and strangeness susceptibilities.

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.
