Determining the Spin-Analyzing Powers via Invariants of the Spin Correlation Matrices and Probing the Bell Non-Locality at the Lepton Colliders

Abstract

We consider the two-fermion $F_a F_b$ productions and decays via one mediator exchange at the $e^+e^-$ collider. With the assumption that the spin is defined via the Lorentz symmetry, or considering the implicit symmetry in the spin density matrix, we prove that the trace ${\rm Tr} [C]$ of the spin correlation matrix $C$ is an invariant quantity, and is invariant under basis rotations. Thus, for the exchanges of one mediator such as scalar and gauge boson, we can determine the product of the spin-analyzing powers for $F_a F_b$ via ${\rm Tr} [C]$, and reconstruct the spin correlation matrix. With the CHSH-Horodecki criterion, we can probe the Bell non-locality, and evade the no-go theorem. To be concrete, we study the Bell non-locality for the $\Lambda \bar \Lambda$ productions and decays at the BESIII experiment. In addition, the invariant ${\rm Tr} [C]$ is a new physics observable to probe the new physics beyond the Standard Model (SM) and study the SM precision measurements. Moreover, for the scalar exchanges, we discuss the general invariants of the spin correlation matrices and the related phenomenological consequences.

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.
