QCD parameters and SM-high precisions from e+e- to Hadrons

Abstract

Using the PDG 22 compilation of the $e^+e^-\to$ Hadrons $\oplus$ the recent CMD3 data for the pion form factor and the value of gluon condensate $<\alpha_s G^2>$ from heavy quarkonia, we extract the value of the four-quark condensate : $\rho\alpha_s<\bar\psi\psi>^2= (5.98\pm 0.64)\times 10^{-4}$ GeV$^6$ and the dimension eight condensate: $d_8= (4.3\pm 3.0)\times 10^{-2}$ GeV$^8$from the ratio ${\cal R}_{10}$ of Laplace sum rules to order $\alpha_s^4$. We show the inconsistency in using at the same time the standard SVZ value of the gluon and the vacuum saturation of the four-quark condensates. Using the previous values of the four-quark and $d_8$ condensates, we re-extract $<\alpha_s G^2>$ from ${\cal R}_{10}$ to be: $(6.12\pm 0.61)\times 10^{-2}$ GeV$^4$ in perfect agreement with the one from heavy quarkonia. We also use the lowest $\tau$-like decay moment ${\cal R}_\tau^{ee}$ to extract the value of the QCD coupling $\alpha_s(M^2_\tau)$=0.3385(145)[resp. 0.3262(86)] (mean of fixed order (FO) and Contour Improved (CI) PT series) to order $\alpha_s^4$ [resp. $\alpha_s^5$] and the standard OPE. The corresponding value of the sum of the non-perturbative contribution is: $\delta_{NP}(M_\tau)=(3.74\pm 0.40)\times 10^{-2}$. Reciprocally, using $\alpha_s(M_\tau)$, $<\alpha_s G^2>$ and $d_8$ as inputs, we test the stability of the value of the four-quark condensate obtained from the lowest $\tau$-like moment. We complete our analysis by updating our previous determinations of the lowest order hadronic vacuum polarization contributions to the lepton anomalies and to $\alpha(M^2_Z)$. We obtain in Table 2 : $a_\mu\vert^{hvp}_{l.o}= (7036.5\pm 38.9)\times10^{-11}, a_\tau\vert^{hvp}_{l.o}= (3494.8\pm 24.7)\times10^{-9} $ and $\alpha(M^2_Z)=(2766.3\pm 4.5)\times 10^{-5}$. This new value of $a_\mu$ leads to: $\Delta a_\mu\equiv a_\mu^{exp}-a_\mu^{th} = (142\pm 42_{th}\pm 41_{exp})\times 10^{-11}$.

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.
