Non-holomorphic Contributions in GMSB with Adjoint Messengers

Abstract

We consider models of gauge mediated supersymmetry breaking, in which the breaking is transmitted to the visible sector by the messenger fields from the adjoint representation of MSSM's gauge group. We include the non-holomorphic terms induced by the supersymmetry breaking and involve them in the renormalization group evolution. The main impact from the non-holomorphic terms arises in the right-handed stau mass, which requires large hypercharge interactions with the messengers to accommodate non-tachyonic staus. With the non-holomorphic terms, the stau mass-square can remain positive in the renormalization group evolution, even if the hypercharge interactions are small. Although the radiative non-holomorphic contributions enhance the mass spectrum, their effects in the sparticle mixing rather reduce their overall contributions such that we realize about 25 GeV difference in the right-handed stau mass, while the difference is lowered by about 5 TeV in the lightest mass-eigenstate of staus. We realize 6-7 TeV difference in the sbottom mass, and about 15 TeV in the stop mass. These contributions in the sparticle masses also affect the SM-like Higgs boson mass, and we find that the SM-like Higgs boson can be enhanced as much as about 80 GeV. In a small region of the parameter space we also observe negative non-holomorphic contributions which do not exceed about 1 TeV for the sparticles, and 20 GeV for the SM-like Higgs boson. An interesting impact from the non-holomorphic terms happens in the muon g-2 results. We find that the non-holomorphic contributions can provide a significant decreasing in supersymmetric contributions to muon g-2. We realize that the muon g-2 results can be decreased as much as about -50 x 10^-10 by the non-holomorphic contributions, and consequently one can still accommodate light sleptons and gauginos in the spectrum.

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.
