Magnetic moments of decuplet baryons in isospin asymmetric magnetized strange matter

Abstract

We investigate the in-medium masses and magnetic moments of decuplet baryons $(\Delta,\Sigma^*,\Xi^*,\Omega^-)$ in isospin asymmetric magnetized strange matter at finite temperature within a unified chiral effective framework. Medium modifications of baryons are implemented using the chiral SU(3) quark mean-field (CQMF) model, where constituent quarks interact via scalar ($\sigma$, $\zeta$, $\delta$) and vector ($\omega$, $\rho$, $\phi$) meson fields considering the Dirac sea effects. The external magnetic field is incorporated through Landau quantization of charged particles together with anomalous magnetic moments (AMM) of baryons. The resulting in-medium mass of constituent quarks and decuplet baryons obtained from the CQMF model are subsequently employed as input to the chiral constituent quark model ($\chi$CQM) to evaluate magnetic moments of baryons. Contributions from valence quarks, sea quark spin polarizations, and orbital angular momentum of the quark sea are taken into account. Our results provide a systematic understanding of how dense, hot, and magnetized environments influence the magnetic properties of decuplet baryons.

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.
